Diabetes mellitus is characterized by an increased level of blood glucose and impairment in the metabolic functions of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Beneficial effect of butyrate fermented in Aloe vera gel to type-2 diabetes patients and obesity subjects was discussed in the present review. In case reports, a possible prophylactic role of Aloe vera juice in long time ingestion to obesity-prone subjects was observed.
