At least three different groups of constituents in the Bitter Melon have been reported to have hypoglycemic (blood sugar lowering) or other actions of possible benefit in diabetes mellitus. These include a mixture of steroidal saponins that known as charantin, insulin-like peptides, and alkaloids.
Karela contains Gurmarin, a polypeptide that considered to be similar to bovine insulin, which has been shown into experimental studies to accomplish a positive sugar regulating the effect by suppressing the neural response to sweet taste stimuli.

Karela Research and Clinical Studies
Scientists have now identified three groups of constituents that are actually thought to be responsible for its 'blood sugar lowering' action.One of these, a complex called charantin, which is so composed of mixed steroids, was found to be more useful than the oral hypoglycaemic drug, tolbutamide, in reducing blood sugar. Another, an insulin-like polypeptide that called polypeptide P, appears to lower blood sugar in type I (insulin dependent) diabetics, while alkaloids present in this fruit have also been noted to have a blood sugar lowering effect. As yet, researchers are unclear as to which of these multifarious is most effective or if it is the synergistic effect of all three. more research is required to understand how these compounds actually work. compound known as oleanolic acid glycosides have been found to improve the glucose tolerance in Type II (maturity onset) diabetics by preventing the total absorption of sugar from the intestines. Bitter melon has also been reported to raise the number of beta cells (cells that secrete insulin) in the pancreas, thus improving your body's capability to produce insulin (insulin promotes the uptake of sugar from your blood by the cells and tissues).
A two-day Indian study that published in 1999 examined bitter melon's effect on 100 people with type 2 diabetes. On both days, researchers tested the participants' blood sugar levels in a fasting state and after the drinking glucose. Participants took 150 to 200 mi of bitter melon extract on the second day. That day, researchers found that 86 percent of the participants experienced an average 14 percent drop in blood sugar after fasting and after drinking glucose
To date, close to 100 in vivo studies have demonstrated the blood sugar-lowering effect of this bitter fruit. The fruit has also shown the ability to enhance cells' uptake of glucose, to promote insulin release, and to potentiate the effect of insulin.
p-Insulin was tested in a controlled clinical trial. In juvenile diabetics, the peak hypoglycemic effect was observed after 1-8 hrs; in patients with maturity onset diabetes, maximum fall in blood sugar level was noted after 12 hrs. Karela or Bitter Melon has also been reported to show hypocholesteroemic activity.
