Drinking vinegar to lower blood sugar?

Some vinegars have the effect of assisting to lower blood sugar, such as white vinegar and aged vinegar, but the effect is smaller. Acetic acid can inhibit disaccharidase in the intestine and reduce glucose decomposition, so you can drink some white vinegar and aged vinegar properly in general, which can help blood sugar regulation. But some vinegars cannot lower blood sugar, for example, apple cider vinegar contains certain sugar, which is not conducive to blood sugar lowering. If you want to achieve the real sense of lowering blood sugar, you can’t simply rely on drinking vinegar, you must carry out formal treatment, otherwise it may cause blood sugar fluctuation or high level of blood sugar running, leading to various kinds of complications. In addition too much acetic acid can also stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort. Usually, the blood glucose can be considered as diabetes when it rises to a certain standard, such as fasting blood glucose ≥7.0mmol/L and two hours after meal blood glucose ≥11.1mmol/L. After diabetes occurs, the first thing you should do is to control your diet, and you can calculate the amount of food you eat every day according to your standard weight, which is calculated by the formula of height minus 105. The overall control of daily intake of carbohydrates, fats and proteins should be carried out. Generally carbohydrates account for about 50%, fat and protein each account for half, protein can also account for a slightly higher proportion. The next step is to increase the amount of exercise, choose a suitable exercise, 4-5 times a week, 30 minutes each time. After diet and exercise treatment, patients with first-onset diabetes generally lose weight, insulin sensitivity is gradually restored, and many patients can control their blood sugar to meet the standard. If the blood sugar still cannot reach the standard, medication is needed. Medications include insulin promoters, insulin sensitizers, glycosidase inhibitors, biguanide hypoglycemic agents, etc. They also include insulin and the relatively new DPP-4 inhibitors or SGLT-2 inhibitors to try to control blood sugar within the normal range.
