Apple Cider Vinegar & Type 2 Diabetes
Is ACV helpful for diabetes management? Let’s look at the facts.
Benefits:
May lower fasting and post-meal blood sugar slightly when used with a healthy lifestyle.
Some minor improvements in cholesterol have been noted.
Side Effects:
Can cause gastric irritation, reflux, worsen gastroparesis, and erode dental enamel.
May interact with diabetes medications, raising low sugar risk.
Avoid in advanced kidney disease or chronic GI conditions.
Recommendations:
Always dilute: 1–2 tsp in a glass of water with meals.
Never replace prescribed medication or take undiluted "shots."
Rinse mouth after use to protect teeth.
Consult your healthcare professional before starting.
ACV can be a minor supportive tool, but it’s no substitute for proven medical care!
