More and more studies are proving the significance of anti diabetic benefits of Aloe Vera. A lot of studies showed that patients with high fasting blood sugar and typical diabetic curve of glucose tolerance that was never treated with hypo-glycolic drugs were selected to take part in the study. They used a placebo controlled double blind study to evaluate the effects of orally administered Aloe Vera supplementation on blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.

Patients taking Aloe Vera, two thirds of which were diabetic but not yet requiring insulin treatment showed promising results for diabetics. After two months of taking Aloe Vera more than 93% of the diabetics stopped taking hypoglycemic drugs and continued with the aloe treatment only because their blood sugar levels were reduced to the point that they did not need any medications to treat control their diabetes. More than 90% of those studied also saw a marked improvement in heart function and blood cholesterol levels.
