Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence worldwide and causing many threatening life complications. Various alternative therapies continue to be developed to control blood sugar level in T2DM, including from tradisional plants. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a traditional plant that is easily obtained at relatively low cost. Many preclinical and clinical studies have shown the capability of Allium sativum L. to inhibit T2DM pathophysiology. This scoping review was aimed to know the efficacy of Allium sativum L. as adjuvant therapy for T2DM patients. Articles used for this review were original articles about Allium sativum L. adjuvant intervention for T2DM patients, published in 2011–2021, and in English or Indonesian language. Databases used were EBSCO, Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Taylor & Francis Online, Ovid, Springer Link, Portal Garuda, OneSearch, and Neliti, with Boolean search. The articles in the search results were selected by PRISMA-ScR. Selected articles were extracted, pointed, then synthesized to answer the review goal. Review process from six selected articles have shown that administration of 500–900 mg/day Allium sativum L. combined with metformin for 12- or 24-weeks improved blood glucose, ADA, hs-CRP, and lipid profile significantly. However, intervention of Allium sativum L. in less than 12 weeks, did not improve the result significantly. Enteric-coated and odorless tablet preparation of Allium sativum L. is recommended to prevent digestive disturbances from Allium sativum L. This scoping review showed that administration of 500–900 mg/day Allium sativum L. for 12 or 24 weeks, showed efficacy for T2DM as an adjuvant therapy with still considering patient clinical conditions and adverse events that may be occurred.
