Garlic and Blood Sugar:
- Garlic may have a mild effect on lowering blood sugar, but evidence is not strong enough to rely on it alone for managing diabetes.

Recommendations: a. Consult Healthcare Provider: Essential if on diabetes medications to avoid interactions. b. 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.

I'm a 23-year-old guy, standing at 5'9.5". I'm really interested in knowing if I can still increase my height at this age. Could you give me some advice on this?
Growth plates in the bones of the human body close by the age of 18-21 years (for males). After these growth plates close, it is generally not possible to increase height through natural methods or medical intervention like growth hormone therapy. You may try to improve posture or focus on stretching and yoga in order to increase your perceived height.
