Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in advanced countries, and modern life plays a big part in it. Type 1 diabetes is related to problems with the function of the pancreas, and type 2 is related to the inefficient ability of insulin receptors.

Like any other disease, both prevention and treatment of diabetes are noticeable. Different treatment methods must be taken for a diabetic patient according to the type and stage of the disease, such as drugs, insulin, etc. Regarding the belief that natural sources can play a good role in treating disorders and leave fewer drawbacks, much research has been done on herbal medicines to find the appropriate ones for treating or even preventing them. Among all of the herbal medicines, garlic (Allium sativum) affects diabetes in a good way.

It was observed that raw garlic or some medicinal form of it can lower glucose levels in the blood and have a good effect on diabetes. Not only glucose levels but also some other elements in our blood, such as LDL and HDL, can be affected by garlic.
