And again, the available research is on supplements and gel, not aloe vera juice. “Some people apparently use it for treating diabetes,” says Horton. “There is some research that shows aloe vera — not the juice, though — can potentially be helpful for cholesterol and blood sugar stabilization, both in people with diabetes and people with pre-diabetes.
