Aloe vera contains alprogen as one of the active compound that works by inhibition the absorption of glucose in the digestive tract so that it can reduce blood glucose levels. While the effect of increasing insulin sensitivity is produced by acemannan, which is polysacaraides compound in Aloe vera.

This makes it possible to inhibit the process of oxidative stress which is the initial occurrence of complications in.
