Apple cider vinegar for diabetes is just one of the foods that can help to manage type 2 diabetes symptoms. It’s also important to eat healthily to prevent developing diabetes in the future. Regulates blood sugar levelsThe bottom line is that for most people, consuming moderate amounts of apple cider can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet. It can also enhance the flavor of nutrient-dense foods, like vegetables and whole grains. If you find that you are a bit nauseous after taking a glass of apple cider vinegar, you could try reducing the dose. Then gradually build up the amount you take until you reach the optimal ACV dose of 1-2 tablespoons per day diluted in a glass of water. You may notice that in stores, most vinegars, including apple cider vinegar, are clear without any sediment. The main reason that commercial vinegar manufacturers do this is for aesthetic purposes. Most ACV you find in the grocery store is the clear, pasteurized, and filtered type. But, you can also buy raw, unfiltered ACV that contains a cloudy sediment. Called "the mother," this substance is made up of settled bacteria and yeast.

Apple cider vinegar is generally recognized as safe. But if you’re taking blood-sugar-lowering medications, talk with a doctor before increasing your vinegar intake.

However, people without diabetes can also benefit from keeping their blood sugar levels in the typical range, as some researchers believe that high blood sugar levels are a major cause of aging and various chronic diseases ( 6). Unlike other brands, Fairchild Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is undiluted and only contains fermented organic apples, which means you get more pure apple cider vinegar than brands that dilute their products with water ( 12). You can also buy ACV pills, powders, or gummies. But there's been little research into whether these supplements have any effect. Because the FDA doesn't regulate dietary supplements, you can't be sure exactly what's in them.

But the study was small and short-term, following 39 people for 12 weeks.

They also contain added sugar.
