Is vinegar good for diabetes?
My neighbour, who has diabetes, told me that drinking a little vinegar mixed with water can help manage blood sugar. Is vinegar good for diabetes, or is this just an old wives' tale?

Apple cider vinegar can help slightly with insulin sensitivity, but it cannot replace your diabetes medications.

My dad started drinking ACV daily because of some WhatsApp forward about curing diabetes. It tasted terrible and actually made his stomach hurt, so our family doctor told him to stop and just stick to his normal medicines.

I tried taking apple cider vinegar for my PCOS insulin resistance because everyone online suggested it. It did help a bit with my digestion, but please be cautious as it can cause acidity if you take too much. Always use a highly diluted version.

I read that taking vinegar on an empty stomach can erode tooth enamel and irritate the stomach lining. Has anyone else felt nauseous or got bad acidity after trying vinegar for their sugar levels?

Just like managing my thyroid, keeping diabetes in check requires regular blood sugar tests and doctor visits. While a tablespoon of vinegar in water might offer a minor benefit, you should never rely on it as a main treatment without consulting your physician.
