However, none of the trials could independently provide sufficient evidence.Objectives.Our review aimed to obtain reliable estimates of effects of vinegar on short-term and long-term blood glucose control.Methods.Large bibliographic databases were searched from inception to date of search without language and publication date restrictions. All clinical trials evaluating effect of vinegar on diabetes mellitus patients were eligible. Two authors independently extracted data on fasting and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, insulin, and HbA1c levels at the various time points. MS Excel, SAS® v9.3, and RevMan v5.3 were used for data analysis.Results.Small significant reduction in mean HbA1c was observed after 8 to 12 weeks of vinegar administration: −0.39% (95% confidence interval = −0.59, −0.18; I2 = 0%). Other long-term outcomes favored vinegar but were not significant. Short-term outcomes show...
