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 42 and my blood sugar is at 164. My feet have this burning sensation, and I've been feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and what can I do to feel better?
Your blood sugar level of 164 indicates uncontrolled diabetes, which can lead to symptoms like burning feet and weakness. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend taking Metformin 500mg twice daily before meals to control your blood sugar levels. Additionally, you can take Vitamin B12 supplements to help with the burning sensation in your feet. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
