Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Garlic can be taken by any body except one who has allergy to it. It is better to take it as a part of the diet. But most important is to achieve a strict blood glucose control with fasting < 100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <7. Plus BP should be ideally maintained around 130 / 80 mm HG. Thanks.
