Apple Cider Vinegar and insulin levels

Apple Cider Vinegar contains acetic acid that is known to control disaccharidase activity (breakdown of sugar) and increase concentrations of glucose in skeletal muscles. This contributes to ACV leading a person’s insulin sensitivity, maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Supported by a 2004 study cited in the American Diabetes Foundation’s publication Diabetes Care, it was found that consuming vinegar prior to meals remarkably increased insulin sensitivity and a lowered insulin and glucose spikes that would normally happen after meals.

“The study involved 29 people, divided into three groups:

• One-third had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

• One-third had pre-diabetic signs.

• One-third was healthy.

The results were quite significant:

• All three groups had better blood glucose readings with the vinegar than with the placebo.

• People with pre-diabetic symptoms benefited the most from the vinegar, cutting their blood glucose concentrations by nearly half.

• People with diabetes improved their blood glucose levels by 25 percent with vinegar.

• People with pre-diabetic symptoms had lower blood glucose than the healthy participants after both drank vinegar.”
