Hello :

Thank you for trusting HCM

Studies suggest that vinegar can increase feelings of fullness and help people eat fewer calories, which can lead to weight loss.

Vinegar has been shown to have numerous benefits for insulin function and blood sugar levels:

1.Improves insulin sensitivity during a high-carb meal by 19-34% and significantly lowers blood glucose and insulin responses .
2.Reduces blood sugar by 34% when eating 50 grams of white bread .
3. 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bedtime can reduce fasting blood sugars by 4% .
Numerous other studies, in both rats and humans, show that vinegar can increase insulin sensitivity and significantly lower blood sugar responses during meals.

There will be some side effects also is there.

Please consult your doctor before you change your treatment plan..
