Vinegar Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Subjects Type 2 Diabetes
posted 01/12/04
Effective in reducing postprandial glycemia and insulinemia.
Our study included nondiabetic subjects who were either insulin sensitive (control subjects, n = 8) or insulin resistant (n = 11) and 10 subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects provided written informed consent and were not taking diabetes medications. Fasting subjects were randomly assigned to consume the vinegar (20 g apple cider vinegar, 40 g water, and 1 tsp saccharine) or placebo drink and, after a 2-min delay, the test meal, which was composed of a white bagel, butter, and orange juice (87 g total carbohydrates). The cross-over trial was conducted 1 week later. Blood samples were collected at fasting and 30 and 60 min postmeal for glucose and insulin analyses. Whole-body insulin sensitivity during the 60-min postmeal interval was estimated using a composite score.
Fasting glucose concentrations were elevated 55% in subjects with diabetes compared with the other subject groups (P < 0.01, Tukey’s post hoc test), and fasting insulin concentrations were elevated 95–115% in subjects with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes compared with control subjects (P < 0.01). Compared with placebo, vinegar ingestion raised whole-body insulin sensitivity during the 60-min postmeal interval in insulin-resistant subjects (34%, P = 0.01, paired t test) and slightly improved this parameter in subjects with type 2 diabetes (19%, P = 0.07). Postprandial fluxes in insulin were significantly reduced by vinegar in control subjects, and postprandial fluxes in both glucose and insulin were significantly reduced in insulin-resistant subjects
These data indicate that vinegar can significantly improve postprandial insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant subjects. Acetic acid has been shown to suppress disaccharidase activity and to raise glucose-6-phosphate concentrations in skeletal muscle; thus, vinegar may possess physiological effects similar to acarbose or metformin.

Eleotin - The Natural Choice for Glucose Control
http://www.calcompnutrition.com/eleotin.html
- that addy came up in a google search. There are/were many more. I am not pushing sales of anything, as it might appear with this site being a commercial one.
rud, I don't mean to overstep my Blog, but have you, in your quest to inform us about diabetes, heard of the University of Calgary research into this herbal forumla for blood sugar control?
of course, now there has been some 'stepping away' from this announcement made a few years ago, as the pressure to pull the research is mounting from pharmaceutical corporations. i believe they did find something very helpfull for diabetics, but it is not a pharma-giant pill so it is ignored or debased.
hope it helps your quest, keep up the good works!!
