Hello, I'm Ty Mason from TheDiabetesCouncil.com, researcher, writer and I have type 2 diabetes. Today I'm going to answer the question, is garlic good for diabetes. But before we get into that, make sure you download my free diabetes management book which also includes a diabetes grocery shopping guide (foods to eat and avoid).

I am a huge fan of garlic. My wife, however, isn’t. So it is a battle at times when we eat Italian food. I cannot even think of eating a pasta dish without a buttery loaf of garlic bread on the table. She can hardly stand the smell or even the thought of garlic. But to her credit, she toughs it out when we both want a nice plate of ziti or manicotti.

Most people have a distinct opinion on garlic. They either love it or they hate it. There usually isn’t much “in between” thoughts about it.

Like onions, shallots and leaks, garlic is a member of the lilly family. Is it an herb? Or is it a spice? Or is it a vegetable? Or is it a fruit? The bulb grows underground, it has a stalk and leaves.
In the most general terms, without going into why, garlic is a vegetable. It is also an herb. And to some people it stinks.

But what about garlic and diabetes?

Garlic has been used for thousands of years as both a traditional medicine and a seasoning. Today, garlic supplements are marketed to help lower cholesterol, help in the fight of cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and arthritis.

The Berkeley Wellness Center at the University of California says that one of the key components of garlic is allicin, a sulfur compound formed in raw garlic after a clove is cut or crushed. But scientists cannot agree if allicin is the main beneficial ingredient. As a matter of fact, they can’t agree on which component is most important.

Looking at the range of claims by supplement companies and others, here is the truth about garlic.

In regards to lowering LDL or “bad” cholesterol: A 2007 study from Stanford University found no benefit when it tested raw garlic and two popular supplements for six months in people with high LDL.

There’s no evidence that garlic actually prevents heart attacks.
In regards to high blood pressure: There are a few short-term studies with limited participants that have garlic has a small impact on blood pressure.

In regards to cancer: The evidence is mixed, at best.

In regards to colds: A 2012 study found that garlic did not reduce the incidence of colds (or flu) but it did reduce the serverity.

For other conditions, like diabetes there’s no good evidence of benefit.

So is garlic good for diabetes? It will not cure your diabetes. In some it may help lower your blood sugar, but there is no science to prove it. Is it bad for diabetes? No. If you like garlic, use it. Just don’t expect that garlic supplement to take the place of your medication for diabetes.

I hope this answered your question is garlic good or bad for diabetes. Don’t forget to get your diabetes management book.
