Preliminary research suggests that intake of aloe vera juice can help improve blood glucose levels andmay therefore be useful in treating people with diabetes.
Aloe has also been linked with:
1. Decreased blood lipids (fats) in patients with abnormally high levels of these molecules in the blood (e.g. some people with type 2 diabetes ) and/or acute hepatitis (liver disease)
2. Decreased swelling and faster healing of wound injuries. Leg wounds and ulcers are common
complications of diabetes , and they typically take longer time to heal than in healthy non-diabetic individuals.
These positive effects are thought to be due to the presence of compounds such as lectins, mannans and anthraquinones.
