Abstract
Diabetes today has spread in most countries in which brings burden to a
mass of people with Asia being the main target of the burden due to the huge
population and increasing prevalence rates. Brought about by beta cell
dysfunction and insulin resistance, diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by
hyperglycemia. Excessive consumption of sweets is often associated with
diabetes but there are other factors that need to be considered in detecting the
main root of the disease such as genetics and viruses that can trigger it. The aim
of this study is to provide a widely accessible and attainable method to maintain
the blood sugar level due to exorbitant medications that are not on the reach for
people who are affected of the disease. This research also aims to prove the
efficacy of garlic as medicinal substitute and its therapeutic value. The
researchers look for alternative natural solution for synthetic medicines. Based
on past studies, garlic, in its various preparations, has been popularly used for
high blood pressure, for high cholesterol, and for heart disease. It’s also used to
prevent certain types of cancer such as stomach and colon cancers. This herb is
one of the most widely used herbal medicines in the Philippines and can also be
found commonly in the kitchen of Filipino households as it is used to spice up
food preparations. Today, as more research is done on garlic, more medicinal
and therapeutic properties become more evident. The researchers did an
experiment to the subjects in a controlled experiment for five (5) days. They took
the garlic clove once a day first thing in the morning without anything ingested
and monitored the body glucose level of the subjects. Therefore, in this method,
iii
the researchers were able to analyze the result of the study easily. The result
suggested that the body glucose level of respondent A decreased from day 1 to
day 5 at an average of 13.2mm/dL. For respondent B, a decrease from day 1 to
day 5 at an average of 7.2mm/dL. This means that the insulin sensitivity of both
respondents increased effectively specially in respondent A. Possibly, if the
respondents stopped the intake of garlic clove, the insulin sensitivity will go back
to their previous sensitivity. Which means that their insulin sensitivity will be less
effective, and their glucose level will increase again. Being able to prove that
Garlic can be a therapeutic substitute for maintaining body glucose level can
bring a lot of hope for every patient experiencing difficulty in financial and
availability aspects of medicines. The large expenses for maintaining one’s
health can somehow be solved and provide temporary solutions for the future.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Philippine Health Statistics (2013) reveal that Diabetes Mellitus, also
known as Diabetes, has been one of the epidemic diseases here in the
Philippines. Diabetes leads as the 6th leading cause of death among Filipinos and
as declared by the Philippine Center for Diabetes Education Foundation in 2016,
over 6 million Filipinos are diagnosed to have diabetes.
Figure 1: Diabetes Mortality; Proportional Mortality
World Health Organization (2016) showed a collective data of Diabetes
Country Profiles in which showing the mortality of men and women in the
country. Based on the data regarding the number of deaths because of Diabetes,
from ages 30 to 69, men have higher number of total deaths than the number of
total deaths of women. When it comes from ages 70 and above, the rate of men
1
and women have switched. The mortality of men with the age of 70 and above
became lesser than the mortality of women. Diabetes leads to other risks that
later on possibly to cause a worse and more serious complication. The W.H.O.’s
collected data in 2016 that listed the proportional mortality of men and women
from all ages here in the Philippines. Cardiovascular Diseases, with the rate
33%, leads the list of common causes of deaths here in the country while
Diabetes rates about 6%.
Diabetes is a disorder in which characterized for whoever person has this
kind of disorder have blood sugar levels that are incredibly high or can be pinned
as abnormally rising (Hyperglycemia) due to the failure of the pancreas to give
out insulin.
Figure 2: List of Available Medical Supplies for Diabetes here in the Philippines
Up until this point, the nation prepared a reaction to diabetes to decrease
chance factors and control the pace of mortality. It incorporates the accessibility
of prescriptions, essential devices and strategy in the open division. All things
considered, the endeavors of the administration are insufficient to ensure
adequate measure of provisions and gear for what's to come. Medicines like
Metformin and Sulphonyl urea are commonly accessible in essential
consideration offices not at all like Insulins. Patients are as yet seeking after
2
therapeutic help from the administration to go to their medicinal necessities like
money related and innovative guide. Building up a therapeutic substitute would
profit each person that battles discovering help and prescription.
Figure 3: Chemical Structure of Allicin
Allium Sativum or commonly known as Garlic has a chemical composition
that is believed to be useful for the crisis. Allicin, one of the chemical components
of garlic, can affect the production of insulin for the body. Once the garlic is
ingested, the allicin will immediately stimulate insulin sensitivity that can help in
managing body glucose level.
Theoretical Framework
INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT
Blood Glucose Garlic as Medicinal
Measurement Substitute for

Garlic
Maintaining Body
Garlic Intake
Glucose Level
Figure 4: Theoretical Paradigm
Because of the need and exorbitant medicines, an option would be helpful
to decrease the patient's battles. Based on studies, the chemical components of

3
garlic have the same effects as the medicine needed in diabetes. Realizing that
garlic is modest and broadly accessible, it fits splendidly as a restorative
substitute for Insulin and Metformin. Through the process, then body glucose
measurement will occur. For the first half of the procedure, the average body
glucose level will be monitored for a week. Continuous intake of garlic will be
initiated on the second half of the procedure. Blood Glucose Measurements will
be listed down and be compared from the data between the first and second
halves of procedures to see the results of ingestion.
Statement of the Problem
This research plans to demonstrate that garlics can be utilized as a
therapeutic substitute for keeping up body glucose level. In accordance with this,
these are the issues to be attended:
1.) Will garlic work as a medicinal substitute for maintaining body glucose
level?
2.) Upon ingestion, to what extent does the impact of garlic got obvious?
3.) Proven that it is effective, what will be the effect of discontinuing the
ingestion of garlic?
Hypothesis
The Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine (2015) proposed that the
chemical substance found in fresh garlic, Allicin, have a protective impact on
person with high Glucose level. The study shows that the chemical substance
can improve insulin sensitivity and minimize body glucose level. Considering the
4
fact that the chemical substance Garlic can stimulate insulin sensitivity, it can be
hypothesized that fresh garlic can be an effective therapeutic substitute for
maintaining body glucose level.
Significance of the Study
Maintaining one person’s health is truly a struggle and considering the fact
that medicines here in the country are expensive, it will not just require a full
attention but also a financial aid. This research aims to provide information to
individuals with diabetes that encounters struggles in providing the prescribed
medicine to their condition.
The Foundation for International Studies on International Development
(FASID) Research Fellow Program FY2008 commissioned by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (2009) revealed that the Philippines were included in the most
significant expense for drugs in the Asian nations. A report on costs and
accessibility of drugs all in all in the Philippines appears significant expense
proportions to global reference costs, particularly in the private sector and for
originator brand prescriptions. The examination likewise demonstrated limited
accessibility of drugs in the open division in the Philippines. These realities are
basic for individuals with deep rooted sicknesses, including diabetes.
Scope and Limitations
This research pins the proposal of taking place of fresh Garlic as
therapeutic for Maintaining Body Glucose Level due to the excessiveness of
medicine. Considering the fact that Diabetes was a vast topic and needed to be
5
discussed broadly, this research will only include the chemical components of
Garlic, impact on the Body Glucose Level of Garlic, and the extent of the impact
of Garlic.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Local Literature
Quiwa, L. (2014) stated that most of the patients (76%) in UP-Philippine
General Hospital Diabetes Clinic use containers to properly dispose their sharps
while a great number of patients (82%) dispose theirs through the community
garbage collection. Only a few of them have acceptable disposing techniques.
The respondents had moderate knowledge and positive attitude towards sharps
disposal. In conclusion, majority of the patients must be educated to have proper
disposal techniques.
Tan, G. (2015) reported that the prevalence of diabetes is expanding as
time goes by. The continuous reliance on electronic gadgets and sedentary
lifestyle greatly contributes to this epidemic. However, the Diabetes care in the
Philippines are at low help due to the lack of government support, shortage on
resources and low economy. In addition to that, the National Insurance System
prevents citizens from accessing diabetes care in a preventive model and only
limited care is offered by private insurance companies. Hence, most patients
depend on costly expenses like laboratory procedures and daily medications. As
a consequence, poor pharmacotherapy adherence impairs prevention of
complications.
7
Foreign Literature
The World Health Organization (2018) revealed that during the years 1980
to 2014, the number of people with Diabetes rises from 108 million to 422 million.
The global prevalence of diabetes rises rapidly from 4.7% to 8.5% between
countries. It has been a major cause of other diseases like blindness, kidney
failures, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation that leads to death of
patients in 2012.
The American Diabetes Association showed that South Asians who were
foreign-born was more prevalent with diabetes than other Asians. In multivariable
examinations, normal-BMI foreign-born South Asians had nearly five times the
diabetes prevalence of comparable U.S.-born non-Hispanic whites and 2.5 times
higher prevalence than foreign-born other Asians.
The World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (2014)
tested and proved that some of the traditional plants in the country of India such
as Aloe Vera have anti-diabetic potential.
Local Studies
The National Institute of Health (2008) stated that patients know that garlic
has been used both as spice and medicine for thousands of years. With the
present craze on use of natural products, health maintenance or as therapeutic
agents, garlic, in its various preparations, has been popularly used for high blood
pressure, for high cholesterol, and for heart disease. It’s also used to prevent
certain types of cancer such as stomach and colon cancers. When they feel that
8
their blood pressure has increased, people especially who live in rural areas eat
raw garlic cloves. The others would take the cloves with pineapple juice or other
sour drinks for ‘added’ effect. Those various preparations of garlic are available
in market. Including tablets or capsules that are made from the dried and
powdered cloves. The oils and liquid extracts are also available.
According to the Philippine Herbal Medicine (2005 - 2020) this herb is one
of the most widely used herbal medicines in the Philippines and can also be
found commonly in the kitchen of Filipino households as it is used to spice up
food preparations. The Philippine bawang or garlic variety is more pungent than
the imported ones. Its medicinal properties have been known for a long time and
have been especially proven during World War II when it was used to treat
wounds and infections of soldiers. Many soldiers live because of the garlic’s
antibacterial compound known as allicin, as this property prevents the wounds
from being infected and developing into gangrene at a later stage by extracting
the juice of bawang or garlic and applying to the wounds. The preliminary test
conducted on this medicinal herb showed some positive results in the treatment
of AIDS.
Today, as more research is done on garlic, more medicinal and
therapeutic properties become more evident. Although controlled trials in terms
of anti-cancer activities of garlic have been performed in medical research, it has
been proven through population-based studies that substances contain in garlic
help in reducing the risk of some types of cancer. These would include colorectal
malignancies and gastric cancer. The regular consumption of raw garlic has been
9
proven to aid in many bleeding cases, especially those cases that are associated
with procedures in surgeries and dental activities. All these considered, it
appears that garlic have no concrete scientific basis to claim a significant effect in
the level of glucose in our blood.
The Philippine Department of Health (2005) has endorsed garlic as one of
the top ten Philippine herbs with therapeutic value and the department
recommends its use as an alternative herbal medicine in view of the positive
results of thorough research and testing, which had been conducted on this
herbal plant. Juice extracted from garlic bulbs can be used as tick and mosquito
repellant when applied to skin.
Foreign Studies
Hampson et al. (2001) inspect the adequacy of instructive and
psychosocial mediations for young people with type 1 diabetes, that were
intended to improve their diabetes the executives. The researchers studied the
effects of educational and psychosocial interventions for adolescents with
diabetes mellitus. The author examines only type 1 diabetes and between 9 to 21
years. There were controlled and not controlled medication. The subject was
given a pre-test that studied their educational or psychological intervention. The
type of intervention included problem-solving, education or knowledge
intervention, emotions or psychological intervention, stress-reduction, dietary
intervention, family-related interventions, social support knowledge, and another
intervention and the result of the Sixty-two studies were included. RCTs
accounted for the largest subgroup of studies, followed by pre-test and post-test
10
designs with no control group. Several studies used a non-randomized control
group and the remainder are post-intervention only, waiting-list control group,
case studies, or some other type of design, showed the effectiveness of the
interventions. The 25 RCTs were examined in more detail and 3 of the most
effective were described in depth. The effect sizes could be calculated for 14
studies. TCP means effect size was 0.37 for psychosocial outcomes and 0.33 for
glycated hemoglobin with outliers, indicating that these interventions have small
to medium beneficial effects on diabetes management outcomes.
Synthesis of the Related Literature and Studies
A narrative review of the 21 pre-test post-test studies with no control group
was performed. This included evaluations of interventions conducted at summer
camps, interventions for poorly controlled patients and educational interventions.
All studies reported beneficial effects.

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This research employed experimental design. According to Harland, D.
(N.D.) an experimental research is a scientific study that strictly follows a
systematic process. The researchers conducted the experiments based on facts
and past related studies that can help prove the effectiveness of the variable.
Also, the researchers aim to see if garlic can be a medicinal substitute for
maintaining blood glucose level. Considering past related researches, it will
provide a huge benefit for future and other patients. Also, it aims to provide a
help for patients who undergo financial and availability difficulties.
Research Locale
The experimentation was held at one of the researcher’s house, located at
Panghulo, Malabon, due to the location of the instruments to be used.
Sample and Sampling Technique Used
The chosen respondents for the experimentation have appropriate
medical conditions for our research. Having 2 respondents for the
experimentation namely a male, 43 years old, that was diagnosed with diabetes
(Respondent A) and the other one, a female, 42 years old, that has no signs of
any diabetic symptoms (Respondent B).
12
Instrumentations
During the experimentation, sets of body glucose testing instruments were
used for data gathering, analysis and comparison. Instruments like glucometer,
tests strips, and lancet device were used.
Data Gathering Procedure
The test trials were held for 5 consecutive days starting from February 24,
2020, Monday, up to February 28, 2020, Friday, and were held every morning.
Each of the respondents were prescribed to take their blood glucose level first
thing in the morning without anything ingested. After taking their average blood
glucose level, the intake of a garlic clove will take place. The blood glucose level
will be taken again after an hour to check the effect of garlic ingestion. The
average and post blood glucose level including the time of intake of the
respondents were documented and will serve as a basis of the effectiveness of
garlic ingestion.
13
CHAPTER IV
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
The data showed the flow of the experiment conducted by the researchers
to the respondents. The chart showed the outcome of garlic ingestion to the
average body glucose level of the respondents. Normal body glucose level
without any meal taken should be 100mm/dL and below and with any meal taken
should be 140mm/dL below.

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary
The experimentation of the researchers to provide a knowledge for people
who struggles to find an alternative medicine due to exorbitant medicines here in
the country have been successfully completed. The trials on the respondents
leads to a positive outcome and could pass as a recommendation for helping
diabetic patients. The chemical component of garlic, Allicin, have stimulate an
insulin sensitivity to the body of the respondents and fill up the expectation of
utilization that garlic can be a medicinal substitute for maintaining body glucose
level based on the trials.
Conclusions
In conclusion, the researchers had proven that Garlic can be a therapeutic
substitute for keeping up the body glucose level for diabetic persons. The
researchers believe that the chemical components of the garlic have the same
effects as the medicine needed in diabetes. To prove the researchers’ point, the
subjects were subjected to a controlled experiment for five days. They took the
garlic clove once a day first thing in the morning without anything ingested. The
result showed that the body glucose level of the respondent A had constantly
decreased from day 1 to day 5 at an average of 13.2mm/dL. For respondent B,
had decrease from day 1 to day 5 at an average of 7.2mm/dL. This means that
the insulin sensitivity of both respondents increased effectively specially in
18
respondent A. In addition to that, surprisingly the body glucose level of the
respondents had been in constant level and been controlled by the Allicin.
Possibly, the absence of garlic ingestion can cause insulin sensitivity to go back
to their previous state of sensitivity. The respondent’s insulin sensitivity will be
less effective and their glucose level will increase again.
Recommendations
To assure and see the full potential effects of garlic and its other affiliated
health benefits, the researchers recommend to start trials and try variety of
methods for a long period of time. The continuous intake of bawang can help
maintain blood glucose level in the long run. As much as the researchers did the
trials through the ingestion of garlic with an empty stomach, it is suggested to
explore in incorporating the garlic in some other ways to develop a more
attainable method.
