Koval plants are in the same family as the better-known bitter melon. They send out vines in Type 2 Diabetes Defeated every direction in moist summer heat. Unlike bitter melon, koval is harvested for its leaves rather than for its fruit. Whilst Coccinia cordifolia (koval), grows extensively in India and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, there have been few controlled studies of its efficacy. Clinical researchers at the St. John's National Academy of Health Sciences in Bangalore prepared a standardized extract from 15 grams of the dried herb. They gave either the extract or a placebo to sixty newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics for a period of 60 days. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the herb Coccinia cordifolia, on the blood sugar levels of type 2 diabetic volunteers who only required dietary or lifestyle changes, but no drugs. Among the test volunteers who were given the herb rather than a placebo, the average fasting blood sugar level at the beginning of the trial was 132 mg/dL (7.3 mmol/L). The average fasting blood sugar level at the end of the 60 day trial was 111 mg/dL (6.2 mmol/L). It is also interesting to note the average post prandial or after meal blood sugars at the beginning of the trial were 183 mg/dL (10.2 mmol/L) and at the end of the trial, the average post-prandial levels were 150 mg/dL( 8.3 mmol/L).
