"Vinegar appears to have effects similar to
some of the most popular medications for diabetes."
Vinegar and diabetes, what do they have to do with each other?
Quite a bit!
According to recent academic studies, vinegar slows the rise of blood sugar levels after you have eaten a meal and when taken at bed time, vinegar lowers morning blood sugar levels.
Professor Carol Johnston PhD, working on the subject of vinegar and diabetes with her research team from the department of nutrition at Arizona state university, have published results on the following three studies:
Apple cider vinegar before meals.Apple cider vinegar before bedtime.Apple cider vinegar during meals for healthy adults.

The research team from Arizona state university, have recently shown that drinking apple cider vinegar slows the rise of blood sugar after the consumption of a high-carbohydrate meal.
The results are reported in the scientific journal Diabetes Care in 2004. (See reference 1)
Test Procedure - Vinegar and DiabetesIn this study 29 people were given a breakfast of orange juice and a bagel, which contained a total of 87 grams of carbohydrates.
Two minutes before the meal, half of the subjects were given 20 grams (about 4 teaspoons) of apple cider vinegar mixed with 40 grams water and 1 teaspoon saccharine. The other half were given a placebo drink.
A cross over trial was conducted a week later, at which time the placebo group received the vinegar.
The participants' blood sugar levels were measured before and after the breakfast. They were classified into 3 separate groups as follows:
10 people with type 2 diabetes11 people with prediabetes (insulin resistant)8 healthy control people (insulin sensitive)Test Results - Vinegar and Diabetes
Analysis of the results showed that in all 3 groups the consumption of apple cider vinegar slowed the rise of blood sugar after the high-carbohydrate breakfast:
For the group with prediabetes, their blood sugar levels after the meal dropped by 34%.For the group with type 2 diabetes, their blood sugar levels dropped by 19%.
Observations and Conclusions - Vinegar and Diabetes
Based on these results and two other recent studies, (see references 2 & 3), Dr Johnston thinks that the vinegar tonic interferes with the absorption of high-carbohydrate foods which reduces the blood sugar rise that normally occurs after a meal.
In her words," The acetic acid in vinegar may inhibit enzymes that digest starch so that carbohydrate molecules aren't available for absorption and are eliminated as fecal matter."
" Vinegar appears to have effects similar to some of the most popular medications for diabetes" (Acarbose or Metformin) continues professor Johnston and "Further investigations to examine the efficacy of vinegar as an antidiabetic therapy are warranted."
This is especially important given that a 50% increase in the number of Americans with type 2 diabetes is expected in the next 25 years.
In addition, the Diabetes Prevention Program and STOP-NIDDM, two recent large-scale trials, have shown that therapeutic agents used to improve insulin sensitivity in diabetes, may also delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in people with prebiabetes.

In August 2007 a second trial was conducted at Arizona State University, this time to determine the effect apple cider vinegar would have on the fasting blood sugar levels of people with type 2 diabetes. Test Procedure - Vinegar and Diabetes
11 people with type 2 diabetes, who were not taking insulin but were taking prescription oral antidiabetic medication, were given either 1 oz cheese and water (placebo group) or 1 oz cheese and 2 tablespoons of vinegar at bedtime for two days.
A cross over trial was conducted a few days later, at which time the placebo group received the vinegar and cheese, and the vinegar group received only cheese and water.
Fasting blood sugar levels were measured every morning.
Test Results - Vinegar and DiabetesThe researchers found the average fasting blood glucose levels fell by 2% with the placebo (cheese only) and by 4% with the vinegar and cheese.
On closer examination of the data they found that those participants with the highest fasting glucose levels benefited the most from the evening vinegar drink - their fasting blood glucose levels fell by 6%.
Conclusions - Vinegar and DiabetesThese results show that apple cider vinegar, taken with cheese at bedtime, can significantly lower the waking glucose concentrations in type 2 diabetics.
And the authors of this study conclude that "Vinegar is widely available, it is affordable, and it is appealing as a remedy, but much more work is required to determine whether vinegar is a useful adjunct therapy for individuals with diabetes."

In January 2010 another study was published by the Arizona State University team, this time mainly to determine the effect apple cider vinegar would have on the blood sugar levels of healthy adults.
In this study 4 randomized crossover trials were conducted with about 30 healthy adults and 9 adults with type 2 diabetes.
All participants ate a standardized meal the evening prior to testing, then after a 10 hour overnight fast were given a test meal consisting of a bagel, butter and fruit juice with or without 10 grams of vinegar. Two hours later, glucose testing was conducted.
Test Results, Observations and Conclusions - Study #3Analysis of the results showed that for healthy adults, taking 2 teaspoons of vinegar ( 10 grams) with a meal composed of complex carbohydrates reduces blood sugar levels by 20% compared to placebo, as measured 2 hours after the meal.
10 grams of 5% acetic acid vinegar was found to be the most effective dose to lower blood glucose levels and taking the vinegar during the meal was more effective compared to 5 hours before the meal.
The researchers state that taking steps to reduce "after meal blood sugar levels" is recommended by the American Diabetes Association to limit complications of diabetes.
They also say that ??two teaspoons of vinegar could be consumed palatably in hot tea with lemon at mealtime.?

I have pancreatitis due to high triglycerides.
Recently home from my second hospitalization in three years and my sugars will not come down. ?Morning sugars were around 306. The lowest was around 215.
Last night I took 3 tablespoons of white vinegar in 4 ounces of water and this morning my fasting blood sugar was 178. ?Much improved from 300. Today I am starting ACV before each meal...we will see.
Also, I don't eat what I want. ?I eat meals in low fat and low carbs due to the type 2 diabetes and the pancreatitis. ?Nothing has worked. ?Also am on Metformin. ?It was NOT working. ?ACV WORKS!
I encourage anyone struggling to regulate their blood sugar levels as a type 2 diabetic to give it a try...you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. ?I am thankful to God for bringing me to this information.

I started using acv pills about a month ago and it help lower my glucose levels so well, I thought I might not be diabetic anymore.
My sugar is better than it has been in ten years. It's not that I didn't try before, it just wouldn't work like it's supposed to.
I take glucotrol 10 mg., my fasting sugar was 145 to 200 before, now it is 73 to 130. As long as I don't overdo it with carbs, it stays good.
The acv pills really do work, do what I did, just try it. Seems like an all natural substance to me, no side effects so far. See it it works for you. Wouldn't hurt to try, that's the way I looked at it.
By the way.....even when I did overdo it, my sugar was not over 150!
Hope this helps someone who feels helpless like there was no hope of getting it to normal. It is very discouraging when you are really trying and it does no good. ACV pills give you the power.
Good luck!

I have pre-diabetes and am self-treating through lifestyle changes.
I test my blood sugar every night before I go to bed and then my fasting glucose in the morning. My bedtime readings are usually in the 90's and my morning readings average 106.
I began taking two ACV pills, 450 mg each, when I go to bed and now my morning glucose readings are in the 90's... and always the same or lower than when I went to bed.
I control my daytime sugars very well and was frustrated that my readings would climb overnight. The ACV pills have taken care of that! I'm thrilled.

I am a 52 year old female with Non alcoholic fatty liver disease with cirrhosis.
About a month after getting this diagnosis I was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Hence the creation of the liver problem.
I started the Janumet pill twice a day to no avail my diabetes progressed quickly I was put on Insulin as well as the Janumet, still my insulin levels were climbing up to the 400's, yea I could feel my liver working over time.
I remembered checking into ACV for weight loss, but didn't stick with it. So I started looking into it for diabetic benefit and wow.
Yesterday I had a blood sugar reading of 405, I took 1 tbsp of ACV and with in 30 minutes it had gone from 405 to 374. Took another tbsp and in 30 minutes down to 352, this morning I had a reading of 177 and at 2:20 this afternoon I was 104. OMG I have tested twice more today after my evening meal and I have stayed mid 100's all day, not once did I go up over 200 today.
I am so grateful I found this out it could possibly save my life and that's no lie. I cant for the life of myself (no pun intended) understand why doesn't every diabetic do this?

I am a type 2 diabetic. I have been struggling to get my blood sugar under control.
The other night after eating supper, I ate a few dill pickles and actually drank some of the juice they were packed in.
About and hour later I checked my blood sugar and it was lower then it had been all day! Amazing !
I had almost forgot about this, but for some reason I decided to check on the internet to see if this was possible. Glad I did.
Now I know it does work and I will be drinking the ACV daily.

I use Aceto Balsamico 4 times a day, after meals and at bed time, either with 1/2 glass water topped up with cranberry juice or with olive oil and soda bread, here in Europe with do not suffer with caramel and/or colourants, it's pure.
I find it very tasty, no soreness or bitterness.
I have been taking the aceto for 1 week and my highest level was 16.2, before I started after being advised by my Diabetic nurse to start eating lots of fruit. (oh hummm)( I was in the 8's before her suggestion)
I am now down to 11.4 and am hopeing to get down to the low 8's by Christmas and my aim is to get down to 5 soon in the new year, so please wish me luck.

I am pre-diabetic with high numbers after a high carb meal.
I am newly trying ACV, and my numbers are definitely lower so will continue, however I will try lemon juice instead, as I have read a study that it will do the job just as well. ?Maybe it won't be as hard on the throat etc.
If it doesn't work, I will definitely continue with the ACV. ?I also find that taking the vinegar daily has stopped my hot flashes! ?I am taking the ACV capsules and they work fine.

How ACV and lifestyle helps my sugars:
By pure numbers I am type 2 diabetic; I inherit this condition from both my bio mom and bio dad. ?I recently heard about the benefits of ACV for weight loss and diabetes so I thought I'd give it a try.
By eating sensibly, exercising more regularly than I have in the last few years, and taking ACV, I have noticed results in the mirror and in my random sugar testing.
I know, I should test all the time, but I go more by 'feel'. ?And I feel great, and stable sugar-wise when taking the ACV. ?Random testing used to have me high in the mornings - 8 - 11 sometimes and since the ACV I am in normal sugar ranges in the morning.
I can't believe how well this has worked for me. ?My ACV ritual - some (tbsp) in the morning with water and also before bed, and if I think of it, a tsp with water just before a meal.
Had I known ACV would have these benefits, I would have tried this long ago.

I am type 2 diabetic . Recently I started taking coconut vinegar (about 60 ml) prior (to) each meal and my diabetic readings have dropped from average 140 to 110 pre prandial.
Great stuff and most inexpensive diabetic treatment. I advise it for all diabetics whether type 1 or 2.
Note from:apple-cider-vinegar-benefits-com ?- The use of apple cider vinegar, or other vinegars, as help in the treatment of diabetes, has been shown to be effective in the case of prediabetics and type 2 diabetics. We are not aware of any benefits for type 1 diabetics.

I have type II diabetes and was on medication for about 8 years. About a month ago I started an exercise program and decided to change my diet.
One night I decided to take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for my blood pressure during the week I notice that my blood sugar reading was down from 140-147 to 104 -114 daily.
I realized it was the ACV. I been spreading the word to all my friends who are diabetics. I want everyone who is reading to believe ACV does work.

I've had the symptoms of Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) for the past 5 years (also called insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, or metabolic syndrome: high sugar, high triglycerides, high cholesterol).
My condition has gone undiagnosed. ?I've been self-monitoring / self-managing for the past 10 days.
I exercised 10-20 minutes 1 hour after every meal. ?During the past 10 days, I took 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 1/2 cup of water before every meal and at bedtime.
I checked my blood glucose levels upon rising (6:30 a.m.)and two hours after lunch (2:00 p.m.) My morning glucose levels dropped from 122 to 91 and my afternoon glucose levels dropped from 126 to 97.
Coupled with a strict diet, I also lost a lot of weight during the past 10 days.
Using apple cider vinegar and monitoring my glucose levels has been the best thing for me.

Amazing. I was not feeling well last night before bed and ended up having a dill pickle of all things... not ACV but vinegar none the less.
I immediately felt a difference and this morning I feel a hundred percent better.
I'm a type II diabetic and have now become a believer in vinegar as an aide to keeping my blood sugar levels low.
I will now begin to use ACV every day at every meal and also at bedtime!

I was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes.
Metformin twice a day and 1/2 Glimepiride tablet once a day. Numbers were coming down but not enough.
Started using 2T of ACV in Crystal lite 4 times a day. In the morning, before lunch, before supper, and before bed.
Blood sugar levels have dropped significantly. I am so thrilled with the results I am sharing the good news with anyone who will listen.
My fasting blood sugar was at 229 it is now at 122. This is nothing to sneeze at.
It is so cost effective and not hard to do at all. What have you got to loose?

I was just going to add my two bits. I have been a Type II diabetic for 14 years.
I recently heard about the medicinal benefits of ACV. I would have to say I have become a believer.
I was generally having morning readings in the mid- to high 200's. since I added ACV to my diet,( I take a 2 tblsp "shot" from shot glass) 3x a day and my numbers have been incredible!
I generally have a morning reading in double digits (72-98) and my daytime and evening pre-meal ones are in the 110-150s.
I am going to see my doctor next week and see what he thinks. It has been a "blessed" 4 weeks!

I don't know if its all down to the ACV as I'm also taking fenugreek capsules bitter melon capsules Gymnema Sylvestre capsules.
I've also cut out meat, margarine, cakes etc, and I've adopted a healthy diet, I'm drinking lemon juice in boiled water in the morning, eating oats with chia seeds and ground flax seeds and cinnamon mixed in.
I've also included the budwig diet that I take once a day, I'll let you know if my sugar gets any less.

I have been taking 2 Tbsp. of ACV mixed with 4-6 oz. of water prior to eating anything that is high in carbs.
This always works in keeping my blood sugar levels down by 20%-40% vs. not taking the ACV. Sometimes I'll forget to take it before eating high carb foods so I'll take it afterwards and it works about the same.
I've read that you can mix a little baking soda (about 1/4 tsp.) with the ACV if the ACV bothers your stomach. I haven't tried this so I'm not sure what the results are, but it's supposed to be better for your teeth.

Much like Marilyn, I was searching for something to stop the itching of uticaria that had developed several months ago.
I also used the ACV that contains the mother and it soothed it on contact. The redness is also resolving and to date all the prescription medication I have been given has not had much effect on the condition.
I think we may be onto something!
I am also a type II diabetic so I will add the vinegar to my diet and see if there is a change in my glucose readings.

Rattling through cupboards to see what could help with horrible itching, I decided to apply apple cider vinegar with the mother & was more than surprised just how well this has worked for me.
Given that I see Specialists all the time for my condition & nothing has worked, ACV has given me so much & I would like to see so many other sufferers give this a go.
I also have pre-diabetes & have seen the numbers fall, I am a true believer.

I've had type 2 diabetes since 2004. My morning fasting numbers had been climbing in the last few months, normally averaging 140-150, with daytime numbers fluctuating between 150-160. [on Metformin 2X a day]
My doctor wanted to start me on Byetta as well as the pills, but at this point, it 's not a mandatory thing. I decided to try the ACV and see what it might do.
I started it at night - 2 tablespoons before bedtime. My morning fasting # was 131 - a significant drop. I followed up with another 2 tablespoons in the morning. Throughout the day my after meals numbers were 113 and 128. I took another dose at bedtime and the next morning, my fasting number was 111. Evening number was 121.
I purposefully went off of the ACV for a day and my evening after meal number went back up to 143. This was proof enough for me that the ACV is definitely working.
I'm going to try mixing it in my crystal light, because either taking it straight with a drink chaser or mixing it in just water is too harsh for my throat.

I haven't tried the bedtime one yet, but will tonight.
Just wanted to share that after a dinner out last night, my two-hour check was 197. I drank about a 1-1/2 tbs. of ACV. Two hours later my sugar was 93. Yes, I was impressed.
Will continue this regimen. So far, no stomach upset. I usually drink it in water with stevia.

It lowers my blood pressure. My latest reading 121/61. Normally 140/70/80, which my Dr. says I need meds. Hmmm...no.
I also have type 2 diabetes . I do not take any meds for, I've had this disease for over 20 years, I use dandelion root, fenugreek seed, cinnamon and black/green tea, I'm still here. I have used for the last 2 years, stevia as a sweetener, no side affects. NONE.
Natural raw vinegar with mother is what you want to consume, not store bought!
As far as lowering my blood sugar, slightly, but maybe if I would consume more, possibly, I have to keep checking my sugar, and will post here again and let you all know.

That said, I recently had a nice lunch out and was alarmed that my 2 hour post meal readings were 191.
I took 2 tablespoons of ?ACV and also a teaspoon of cinnamon, a tablespoon of Fenugreek powder and a tablespoon of turmeric. I exercised on a treadmill for 1 hour, supposedly doing ?750 calories of work. ??My blood sugar dropped to 81.
I have never seen such a drop before (the most was 30 points in 1.5 hours). Not very scientific, but a real observation.

I have type 1 diabetes for 52 years and in the summer time I would make a bowel of fresh vegetables for to snack or have to eat with my sandwich at Lunch and some times I would have it at Dinner time.
I would cut up a skinned cucumber, 2 or 3 tomato's and an sweet onion in a bowl fill the bowl with Apple Cider Vinegar and add a little water and a couple of packets of sweeter if you like and let marinate over night. Every day or two I would just add more vegetables to the mix.
I got to notice that my blood sugars were on target in the morning and not knowing why until on the news they said vinegar helped to control the high-carbohydrate meal I had.
Now I have added it to my daily meal. I like to dip the edge of my sandwich into the mixture to.

I have noticed that when I use white vinegar on my food during the day that my glucose has had significant drops.
In the last 6 days I have gone from a glucose reading of 122 to 102.

I have found it effective in lowering early morning glucose (by 2% without cheese).
However, how to deal with upset stomach. I use Asephex.
Any idea to have apple cider and not have stomach problem.
Thanks

Some people find that adding the apple cider vinegar to a juice drink, such as orange juice or an orange and cranberry juice mix, helps them to avoid upset stomach problems and greatly improves taste.

I have just started with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in the morning and my blood sugar has not changed much.
I have been doing it this way for a month now.
From now On, I will use it in the evening as well and see how that works.
I hope that this can help. I do not take meds. More later.
