Vinegar obstructs the breakdown of carbohydrates which can result in fewer blood glucose spikes in diabetics. A recent study showed that insulin sensitivity improved by 40% when the test subjects drank a mixture of vinegar and water prior to eating a high-carbohydrate meal. The drink was 1/8 cup of vinegar mixed with 1/4 cup of water and some sweetener (saccharine in this case).

Vinegar has been around for thousands of years and has many hundreds of uses. This one may be beneficial to diabetics when eating a high-carbohydrate meal.
