Allium sativum essential oil (ASEO) was purchased from Pharmacy of the Isra university hospital. 13.5 mg of ASEO was given orally daily for six months. Blood samples were centrifuged to separate sera which were stored at -200C frozen. Blood glucose, glycated HbA1, and blood lipoproteins were measured by standard laboratory methods. Data was analyzed on SPSS 21.0 version using student t-test. P-value of ≤0.05 was taken statistically significant. Results: Diastolic blood pressure, random blood glucose, Glycated HbA1, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low and very low density lipoproteins showed significant reduction at third and sixth months compared to baseline (p < 0.001). While HDLc showed significant rise at third and sixth months (p < 0.001).
