Testimonials

September 2009 to December 2010

Testimonials on the apple cider vinegar natural diabetes treatment procedure were shared by fourty people from September 2009 to December 2010, and the results are summarized in the graph below:

The graph above shows the % reduction in blood sugar levels reported by 20 of the 40 vinegar users with pre diabetes or type 2 diabetes from September 2009 to December 2010.

Some of the users took the blood sugar readings after meals and others in the morning before breakfast but in both cases the average reduction in blood sugar levels after taking the vinegar was about 30%.

The range in reported reading varied from a low of 10% reduction to as much as 60% reduction and some of this varibility could be due to:

• the amount of vinegar taken which varied from 1 tablespoon (33% of users) to 2 tablespoons (67%).


• the use of different types of vinegars other than apple cider vinegar such as coconut, balsamic and vinegar from dill pickle juice.


• the use of ACV tabletes (1 person).

Only one of the 40 responders mentioned the this natural home remedy did not work for them.

We are both type2 diabetics. And use a cocktail with ginger, garlic and ACV and our sugar levels are regularly 7 or under (diabetic over 10 years).

We were discharged from the hospital and seen by practise nurse. We walk regularly and try to eat healthy but even with the odd binge are doing very well.

I've been using apple cider vinegar for years, started as a treatment for kidney stones, which gave immediate relief, then we just kept using it, mostly in place of salad dressing.

We make an awesome marinated salad that keeps for several months in the fridge, and gets better with time. Mostly we feel the benefits of the potassium in the vinegar, but I'm a believer in it's use as a blood sugar reducer and cholesterol reducer.
All I know is that the marinated salad leaves us totally refreshed after a meal instead of lethargic.

I have pre-diabetes and am self-treating through lifestyle changes.

I test my blood sugar every night before I go to bed and then my fasting glucose in the morning. My bedtime readings are usually in the 90's and my morning readings average 106.

I began taking two ACV pills, 450 mg each, when I go to bed and now my morning glucose readings are in the 90's... and always the same or lower than when I went to bed.

I control my daytime sugars very well and was frustrated that my readings would climb overnight. The ACV pills have taken care of that! I'm thrilled.

I am a 52 year old female with Non alcoholic fatty liver disease with cirrhosis.

About a month after getting this diagnosis I was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Hence the creation of the liver problem.

I started the Janumet pill twice a day to no avail my diabetes progressed quickly I was put on Insulin as well as the Janumet, still my insulin levels were climbing up to the 400's, yea I could feel my liver working over time.

I remembered checking into ACV for weight loss, but didn't stick with it. So I started looking into it for diabetic benefit and wow.

Yesterday I had a blood sugar reading of 405, I took 1 tbsp of ACV and with in 30 minutes it had gone from 405 to 374. Took another tbsp and in 30 minutes down to 352, this morning I had a reading of 177 and at 2:20 this afternoon I was 104. OMG I have tested twice more today after my evening meal and I have stayed mid 100's all day, not once did I go up over 200 today.

I am so grateful I found this out it could possibly save my life and that's no lie. I can't for the life of myself (no pun intended) understand why doesn't every diabetic do this?

I am a type 2 diabetic. I have been struggling to get my blood sugar under control.

The other night after eating supper, I ate a few dill pickles and actually drank some of the juice they were packed in.

About and hour later I checked my blood sugar and it was lower then it had been all day! Amazing !

I had almost forgot about this, but for some reason I decided to check on the internet to see if this was possible. Glad I did.

Now I know it does work and I will be drinking the ACV daily.

I am pre-diabetic with high numbers after a high carb meal.

I am newly trying ACV, and my numbers are definitely lower so will continue, however I will try lemon juice instead, as I have read a study that it will do the job just as well. Maybe it won't be as hard on the throat etc.

If it doesn't work, I will definitely continue with the ACV. I also find that taking the vinegar daily has stopped my hot flashes! I am taking the ACV capsules and they work fine.

Name: Darlene

How ACV and lifestyle helps my sugars:

By pure numbers I am type 2 diabetic; I inherit this condition from both my bio mom and bio dad. I recently heard about the benefits of ACV for weight loss and diabetes so I thought I'd give it a try.

By eating sensibly, exercising more regularly than I have in the last few years, and taking ACV, I have noticed results in the mirror and in my random sugar testing.

I know, I should test all the time, but I go more by 'feel'. And I feel great, and stable sugar-wise when taking the ACV. Random testing used to have me high in the mornings - 8 - 11 sometimes and since the ACV I am in normal sugar ranges in the morning.

I can't believe how well this has worked for me. My ACV ritual - some (tbsp) in the morning with water and also before bed, and if I think of it, a tsp with water just before a meal.

Had I known ACV would have these benefits, I would have tried this long ago.

I am type 2 diabetic . Recently I started taking coconut vinegar (about 60 ml) prior (to) each meal and my diabetic readings have dropped from average 140 to 110 pre prandial.

Great stuff and most inexpensive diabetic treatment. I advise it for all diabetics whether type 1 or 2.

Note from: apple-cider-vinegar-benefits-com –- The use of apple cider vinegar, or other vinegars, as help in the treatment of diabetes, has been shown to be effective in the case of prediabetics and type 2 diabetics. We are not aware of any benefits for type 1 diabetics.

I've had the symptoms of Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) for the past 5 years (also called insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, or metabolic syndrome: high sugar, high triglycerides, high cholesterol).

My condition has gone undiagnosed. I've been self-monitoring / self-managing for the past 10 days.

I exercised 10-20 minutes 1 hour after every meal. During the past 10 days, I took 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 1/2 cup of water before every meal and at bedtime.

I checked my blood glucose levels upon rising (6:30 a.m.)and two hours after lunch (2:00 p.m.) My morning glucose levels dropped from 122 to 91 and my afternoon glucose levels dropped from 126 to 97.

Coupled with a strict diet, I also lost a lot of weight during the past 10 days.

Using apple cider vinegar and monitoring my glucose levels has been the best thing for me.

Amazing. I was not feeling well last night before bed and ended up having a dill pickle of all things... not ACV but vinegar none the less.

I immediately felt a difference and this morning I feel a hundred percent better.

I'm a type II diabetic and have now become a believer in vinegar as an aide to keeping my blood sugar levels low.

I will now begin to use ACV every day at every meal and also at bedtime!

I was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes.

Metformin twice a day and 1/2 Glimepiride tablet once a day. Numbers were coming down but not enough.

Started using 2T of ACV in Crystal lite 4 times a day. In the morning, before lunch, before supper, and before bed.

Blood sugar levels have dropped significantly. I am so thrilled with the results I am sharing the good news with anyone who will listen.

My fasting blood sugar was at 229 it is now at 122. This is nothing to sneeze at.

It is so cost effective and not hard to do at all. What have you got to loose?

I was just going to add my two bits. I have been a Type II diabetic for 14 years.

I recently heard about the medicinal benefits of ACV. I would have to say I have become a believer.

I was generally having morning readings in the mid- to high 200's. since I added ACV to my diet,( I take a 2 tblsp "shot" from shot glass) 3x a day and my numbers have been incredible!

I generally have a morning reading in double digits (72-98) and my daytime and evening pre-meal ones are in the 110-150s.

I am going to see my doctor next week and see what he thinks. It has been a "blessed" 4 weeks!

I have been taking 2 Tbsp. of ACV mixed with 4-6 oz. of water prior to eating anything that is high in carbs.

This always works in keeping my blood sugar levels down by 20%-40% vs. not taking the ACV. Sometimes I'll forget to take it before eating high carb foods so I'll take it afterwards and it works about the same.

I've read that you can mix a little baking soda (about 1/4 tsp.) with the ACV if the ACV bothers your stomach. I haven't tried this so I'm not sure what the results are, but it's supposed to be better for your teeth.

Much like Marilyn, I was searching for something to stop the itching of uticaria that had developed several months ago.

I also used the ACV that contains the mother and it soothed it on contact. The redness is also resolving and to date all the prescription medication I have been given has not had much effect on the condition.

I think we may be onto something!

I am also a type II diabetic so I will add the vinegar to my diet and see if there is a change in my glucose readings.

I am using apple cider vinegar for a condition called chronic urtacaria & really come by it by accident.

Rattling through cupboards to see what could help with horrible itching, I decided to apply apple cider vinegar with the mother & was more than surprised just how well this has worked for me.

Given that I see Specialists all the time for my condition & nothing has worked, ACV has given me so much & I would like to see so many other sufferers give this a go.

I also have pre-diabetes & have seen the numbers fall, I am a true believer.

Name: Taye

I've had type 2 diabetes since 2004. My morning fasting numbers had been climbing in the last few months, normally averaging 140-150, with daytime numbers fluctuating between 150-160. [on Metformin 2X a day]

My doctor wanted to start me on Byetta as well as the pills, but at this point, it 's not a mandatory thing. I decided to try the ACV and see what it might do.

I started it at night - 2 tablespoons before bedtime. My morning fasting # was 131 - a significant drop. I followed up with another 2 tablespoons in the morning. Throughout the day my after meals numbers were 113 and 128. I took another dose at bedtime and the next morning, my fasting number was 111. Evening number was 121.

I purposefully went off of the ACV for a day and my evening after meal number went back up to 143. This was proof enough for me that the ACV is definitely working.

I'm going to try mixing it in my crystal light, because either taking it straight with a drink chaser or mixing it in just water is too harsh for my throat.

I've just recently learned about the ACV/lower blood sugar connection, and have been trying it for only a few days.

I haven't tried the bedtime one yet, but will tonight.

Just wanted to share that after a dinner out last night, my two-hour check was 197. I drank about a 1-1/2 tbs. of ACV. Two hours later my sugar was 93. Yes, I was impressed.

Will continue this regimen. So far, no stomach upset. I usually drink it in water with stevia.

I have been taking ACV twice a day and today my reading was 7.4 two weeks later. I was delighted.

I can't exercise much because of 2 bad hips and a knee, but have been trying to watch what I eat.

Thanks to this site. I have also started giving my kitty some ACV and I can see it has helped her eyes and skin condition.

I was just advised by my doctor that I was in the early stage of diabetes.

My parents also have diabetes. I quickly turned to the internet to find a natural remedy. The above testimonies have given me the courage to use ACV.

At present I am adding it to my drinking water. I use bottled water. I open two bottles each morning, drink a large swallow and fill that space with ACV.

I will also try the Vinegar, water and sweetener. I think I will take it one step further and add some olive oil for my salad dressing.

I use organic vinegar,1 tablespoon in a glass of water in the morning.

It lowers my blood pressure. My latest reading 121/61. Normally 140/70/80, which my Dr. says I need meds. Hmmm...no.

I also have type 2 diabetes . I do not take any meds for, I've had this disease for over 20 years, I use dandelion root, fenugreek seed, cinnamon and black/green tea, I'm still here. I have used for the last 2 years, stevia as a sweetener, no side affects. NONE.

Natural raw vinegar with mother is what you want to consume, not store bought!

As far as lowering my blood sugar, slightly, but maybe if I would consume more, possibly, I have to keep checking my sugar, and will post here again and let you all know.

I have been diabetic (type 2) for about 3 years and through a variety of measures (supplements and diet) have managed to get my HeA1C readings down from 9.3 to 5.7 without medications.

That said, I recently had a nice lunch out and was alarmed that my 2 hour post meal readings were 191.

I took 2 tablespoons of ACV and also a teaspoon of cinnamon, a tablespoon of Fenugreek powder and a tablespoon of turmeric. I exercised on a treadmill for 1 hour, supposedly doing 750 calories of work. My blood sugar dropped to 81.

I have never seen such a drop before (the most was 30 points in 1.5 hours). Not very scientific, but a real observation.

One month of two teaspoons ACV in water, before meals and my pre diabetic numbers have reduced by at least 10 percent.

In fact one day they dipped to 65 after exercise which I quickly remedied.

I have type 1 diabetes for 52 years and in the summer time I would make a bowel of fresh vegetables for to snack or have to eat with my sandwich at Lunch and some times I would have it at Dinner time.

I would cut up a skinned cucumber, 2 or 3 tomato's and an sweet onion in a bowl fill the bowl with Apple Cider Vinegar and add a little water and a couple of packets of sweeter if you like and let marinate over night. Every day or two I would just add more vegetables to the mix.

I got to notice that my blood sugars were on target in the morning and not knowing why until on the news they said vinegar helped to control the high-carbohydrate meal I had.

Now I have added it to my daily meal. I like to dip the edge of my sandwich into the mixture to.
