what ACV does to your blood sugar (Diabetes news)

What is it about ACV that makes it good for blood sugar?  Apple cider vinegar is a trendy topic these days. It appears to help everything from weight loss to indigestion to healthier hair. But can apple cider vinegar, or ACV for short, be good for blood sugar? Let’s take a look at what Nutritionist Mike Geary has to say… — I was curious about all the promises and hype around ACV, so I thought I’d share my findings with you.The first thing I’d like to say is that ACV has not been well studied in scientific research. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t effective, it just means that because it’s not a pharmaceutical medication with a big company funding the studies, it’s not well-studied. Considering it’s about 28 cents a serving, it’s certainly not going to attract a lot of attention from the conventional medical field. Here’s the good news up front—apple cider vinegar has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes—if it’s well-managed. In other words, you cannot depend only on ACV to keep your diabetes in check. Here’s a few ways apple cider vinegar helps with diabetes: - Drinking ACV before bed helps to manage morning blood sugar levels. In a 2007 study from Arizona, patients with well-managed type 2 diabetes, who were not taking insulin, drank 2 tablespoons of ACV with a protein snack before bed. Morning fasting blood sugars were 4-6% lower than the control group, which is promising. - ACV does improve insulin sensitivity, especially after a high carb meal. Another 2004 study published in Diabetes Care Journal had subjects taking 1.5 tablespoons of ACV with a high carb meal of bagels and orange juice. Researchers concluded that consuming vinegar with a high carb meal lowered post-meal blood sugars by increasing a patient’s sensitivity to insulin in insulin-resistant and diabetic people. - Apple cider vinegar slows the rate of food going into the bloodstream. A study from Sweden showed patients with diabetes who took 2 tablespoons of ACV with meals reduced the rate that their body empties digested food into the bloodstream. By reducing the rate of gastric emptying, ACV also reduced the post-meal blood sugar spike. What is it about ACV that makes it good for blood sugar? Apple cider vinegar contains a type of acid called acetic acid, which slows down carbohydrates entering the bloodstream. It’s thought that the acetic acid helps to promote the muscles’ uptake of glucose, while stimulating insulin secretion. If you want to try out apple cider vinegar, try diluting it with a few oz of water and shoot it down with your meal. Just make sure to swish your mouth with water after to get the acids off your teeth. Or try using vinegar in your dressing on salads, marinade for meats, or sprinkled on your favorite Thai or Chinese stir fry. The timing of your vinegar consumption is also important. It should be consumed before or during meals, or before bedtime. Bottom line is apple cider vinegar is certainly not going to cure your diabetes, but it is a great addition to a sound diet and lifestyle diabetes management plan, and it can help keep lower blood sugars after a meal.
