Abstract in brief

  • The study reviews existing research to evaluate whether Aloe vera can help manage blood sugar levels in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, finding some evidence of benefit especially in lowering fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels.
  • The meta-analysis included 8 randomized controlled trials with 470 patients and found that Aloe vera significantly improves fasting plasma glucose in prediabetes and may also help reduce HbA1c in type 2 diabetes, indicating potential for better glycemic control.
  • Despite these positive findings, the authors note that the current evidence is limited, and more high-quality research is needed to confirm Aloe vera's effectiveness in diabetes management.]
