Apple cider vinegar may reduce fasting blood sugar in type 2 diabetes: Study
Australia: Supplementation with apple cider vinegar can help in reducing fasting blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, reveals a recent study in Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
According to the study, dietary acetic acid supplementation has no adverse side effects and is well tolerated, and has the clinical potential to reduce plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol (TAG) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in people with type 2 diabetes. However, the researchers add that for confirming whether dietary acetic acid can act as an adjuvant therapeutic agent in the management of metabolic comorbidities, there is a need for high-quality, longer-term studies in larger cohorts.
Acetic acid is short-chain fatty acid that has shown biomedical potential as a dietary therapeutic agent for the management of chronic and metabolic illness comorbidities. Its consumption by human beings may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation in people with cardiometabolic conditions and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, published clinical trial evidence evaluating its sustained supplementation effects on metabolic outcomes is inconsistent.
