Question 1

is it s myth that aloe vera gel helps with glycemic care?

Accepted Answer

NOT A MYTH!!!: There are several quality research studies conducted in recent years proving that oral aloe vera extracts consistently lower fasting blood sugar and glycohemoglobin (Hb A1C). The Hb A1C was reduced as much as 22.6%, which is very impressive. See http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/731244
While the authors of that review feel the research "does not warrant" recommending it, it is safe &amp; affordable.
