The evidence in words
The verdict
For glycemic control (oral), Aloe Vera earns evidence grade C (small effect, mixed consistency) — the evidence is limited or mixed. Inner-leaf gel
How it might work
Polysaccharides and other compounds support wound healing topically and may modestly affect glucose and gut inflammation orally.
How to use it
Topical gel for minor burns; decolorized inner-leaf gel orally if used.
Safety & cautions
Topical is safe; oral aloe latex is a stimulant laxative with real risks — avoid it.
Bottom line
Great on a minor burn; oral use is modest and only the purified inner-leaf gel is appropriate — avoid aloe latex.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
