Balanced Diet: Include garlic for flavor and potential benefits, but do not replace prescribed treatments. c. Monitor Blood Sugar: Regular checks are important to assess the impact of dietary changes.

Summary:
- Garlic might help slightly lower blood sugar but should not be the primary treatment. Always discuss dietary changes with your doctor.
