Diabetes Testimonial

Diabetics benefit from drinking aloe, because it regulates blood sugar and lipid levels.

Although aloe vera gel is better known as a home remedy for minor burns and other skin conditions, recent animal studies suggest that aloe vera gel may help people with diabetes. A Japanese study evaluated the effect of aloe vera gel on blood sugar. Researchers isolated a number of active phytosterol compounds from the gel that were found to reduce blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels.

Adam was diagnosed with Diabetes at the age of 10. After the initial shock wore off we were shown how to monitor his blood sugar levels. As expected at first they were all over the scale. Doctors tried for a long time to stabilise them between 5 and 10. His insulin was altered on an almost daily basis. No matter what was tried - more insulin/less insulin- the levels were either too high or far too low. Eventually the doctors decided on the level of insulin to be given even though his blood sugar level was still high (12-17). It was finally accepted that his levels would be high, averaging out at 15 and would be unlikely to change. We had gotten use to this and thought nothing more of it. Then a friend told me the results they were getting for their son who had the same problem, I immediately ordered the Aloe Vera Gel, Adam thought it tasted horrible but continued to drink it, as he knew it would do him good. After a few days we noticed that his blood sugar levels started to fall. We did not know why this was but we were pleased. Adam carried on drinking the gel and was happier when we changed to the Berry Nectar. His blood sugar levels have now stabilised at an average of 8 and continue to do so and the only thing we can think that it is due to is the Aloe Vera Gel as nothing else has changed in his routine. Thank you for a brilliant product.
