Brief Summary

Background: apple cider vinegar is natural traditional health beneficial nutraceutical used for many aliments. Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been considered a globally major health problem and posing health burden on families and health system. Diabetes is associated with life style that leading to reduce physical activities and increased in obesity. For development of diabetes the known mechanism are endocrine disorders which cause impaired insulin secretion, hepatic glucose over production and insulin resistance. Objective: The aim of current randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of apple cider vinegar on glycemic control and biochemical parameters in type 2 diabetic patients with poor glycaemic control. Material \& Methods: 110 type 2 diabetic patients according to inclusion criteria were selected and divided into two groups. Interventional group was given 15 ml apple cider vinegar in 200ml water during meal at night time for 3 months. Before and after HbA1C, fasting lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, anthropometrics and dietary changes were assessed and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 20 through paired sample T-test where needed. .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin)

    Before start of intervention and after intervention 5ml venous blood sample was taken for biochemical analysis of HbA1C (glycosylated hemoglobin) in sterilized tubes,commercial kits of Siemens for Dimmension RxL used and the HbA1C measuement is based on a turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay (TINIA) priniciple.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • blood sugar fasting

    3 months

  • fasting lipid profile

    3 months

Study Arms (2)

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention group taking their diet according to their original meal pattern only dietary guideline were given regarding high glycaemic and low glycaemic diet. Medical treatments continued (including tablet Tagipment 50mg/1000mg twice a day)(Metformin + Sitagliptin group). 15ml apple cider vinegar (American garden organic vinegar) (containing 5% acetic acid) mixed in 200ml water during meal at night time was prescribed.

Dietary Supplement: Apple Cider Vinegar and tablet Tagipmet (Metformin + Sitagliptin group)

Comparison group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Control group also taking their diet according to their original meal pattern only dietary guideline were given regarding high glycaemic and low glycaemic diet. Medical treatment continued (including tablet Tagipmet 50mg/1000mg twice a day)( Metformin + Sitagliptin group). Flavor of apple cider vinegar used as placebo, mixed in 200ml plain water during meal at night time.

Other: Water with Apple Cider vinegar flavor and tablet Tagipmet (Metformin + Sitagliptin group)

Interventions

15ml apple cider vinegar (American garden organic vinegar) (containing 5% acetic acid) mixed in 200ml water during meal at night time, for 3 months and tablet Tagipmet 50mg/1000mg (Metformin + Sitagliptin group) twice a day. NOTE medical treatment is our inclusion criteria.
