Any vinegar will help when taken at same time as a meal. I think thats part of why having a salad before dinner helps some of us. But just stirring a teaspoon in a glass of water in the morning never seemed to help. But we all are different !
Hope it helps.

Yes it does but it comes in caplets so NO heartburn 😁

I does slow carb uptake so can lead to better average blood sugar and less spikes but you have to take it all the time because the effect only lasts a few hours from each (dose)

For me the results while positive were minimal 0.2 or 0.3 mmols post meal drop which is 3 to 5 points - ok, better than nothing but not enough "for me" to continue using it

Your experience may vary

Tried it many years ago but could not tell any difference. Good luck

Hello @A DiabetesTeam Member, I never took the ACV for glycemic control, but i have for my stomach. I take the capsules, heard it was beneficial for glycemic control. I will say this, it makes all your food taste like vinegar. You need to ask @A DiabetesTeam Member about this, as he answered a question about it awhile back. I do remember, he said it just wasn't worth it. Hugs Joyce
