Hi Rhonda,
I am familiar with bitter melon. The fruits and leaves are used commonly by Asians as a vegetable. We cook it in various ways. These are usually sold at oriental stores and at the farmers market. I have heard of its various medicinal purposes such as being good for diabetes. Old folks in Asian countries supposedly use it for other medicinal purposes. If you are interested in recipes on how to cook it, let me know.
