So I've been reading alot of articles n forums online about acv (apple cider vinegar) helping lower blood sugars.. well i went out n bought some last night n my results have been dramatic with just 24 hours of use. Has anyone else tried this? I take 2 tblsp with 4 oz of water n it makes me have to cut my novolog dose in half at mealtimes

Permalink Reply by Holger Schmeken on January 28, 2013 at 2:05pm The acids in vinegar seem to disturb the processing of carbs in the intestine. So yes, it can help to eat some of the forbidden foods. Next time I will try vinegar and licorice - just the thought makes me shudder ;-)

Today, I took a dose at breakfast and went up and up--highest was 184 3 hours after a lunch I eat daily and do remarkably well. I started out at 77 and cruised all day above 150, with about 30 carbs all day. Now at 100 with a no carb meal.
Thought ACV might help and may try some more.

I also tried adding sugar free minute maid lemonade to it right now n the taste is now pleasant. Everyone is different but acv has done wonders for my bg readings lately.

I will start doing a 25ml shot in the morning before breakfast and will let you know how I get on!

Permalink Reply by John M on February 11, 2013 at 11:39am Has anyone kept a record of their readings in a spreadsheet or anything. I'm interested in seeing them - I'm just a geek/nerd/stat analysis freak. Stating activity would be helpful as well, or any other changes done once you've started to take acv. Just trying to cover all of the bases.
I've used acv in some of my cooking for some time. I like the taste it gives burger when I brown it. It seems to help with getting the grease content lower as well.
Permalink Reply by Ren on February 27, 2013 at 1:05pm No spreadsheet to share but my readings are definitely down. My 14-day average is about 107, which is certainly down from previous averages. While I cannot attribute that solely to the ACV (being on this site has encouraged me to eat somewhat differently), it is an improvement for me. I have not upped my activity.
I take 1 to 2 tablespoons mixed with hot water, cinnamon and a bit of sugar 5x a week.
