Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to assess the acute effect of co-ingested vinegar on postprandial plasma glucose levels in type 2 diabetes patients.

Detailed description

Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations are assessed over the 2 hr period following ingestion of carbohydrate-rich beverage with or without added vinegar.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTplacebo co-ingestion

25 ml water co-ingested with a glucose-containing beverage

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTvinegar co-ingestion
