Big report out just a couple days ago regarding garlic. It does nothing for you. None of the claims are true. I don't anything about onion helping or not. My guess (and common sense) tells me it probably doesn't do anything for diabetics. But I could be wrong. Talk to a doctor about it. A MEDICAL doctor.

I don't know that it does..but it is supposed to help kill germs and diabetics have trouble fighting infections.here is a recipe..
Garlic and Herb Pasta
(This serves 2 really hungry people but can be spread out to 4 people if you serve it with a salad or something.)
24 cloves of garlic, peeled (This is a really boring job but it's so very worth it.)
2 TBSP olive oil
1 1/2 cup veggie broth or water
A couple of Roma tomatoes and a little onion, maybe some red pepper
~2 T dried basil
Tarragon, oregano, pepper to taste (the more the better, usually 2 tsp tarragon is perfect)
Whatever pasta floats your boat (I like penne or mostaciolli)
Sautee the garlic cloves (still whole) in the olive oil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently and being VERY careful not to burn them. If you do, throw em out and start over b/c burned garlic in this is REALLY gross. Add 1/2 c of the broth and turn the heat to low and let simmer for awhile, about 15 minutes or until the broth has evaporated mostly. [You should start the water for the pasta now.]
By this point, the garlic should be soft enough to crush with the back of a wooden spoon. Crush about 3/4 of them like this. Add the rest of the broth, the sliced up tomatoes, the chopped up onion, and the herbs.
I've actually never measured out the herbs I put in, so you should taste the broth and see how you like it. Wait a couple minutes for the tomatoes to shrivel up, add more pepper, and turn the heat off. Try not to drool into the broth. :)

I don't think onion or garlic has any direct benefit for diabetics. I've read garlic has some health benefit in regards to cholesterol, maybe an indirect benefit perhaps. Is diabetes associated with poor cholesterol in anyway?

They do not increase insulin levels, nor increase sugar levels. Other than that, I have never heard of these two vegetables aiding diabetics.
