Control Group (T 0 )
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants continued their prescribed conventional medications for hyperglycemia and lipid management without any additional dietary or vinegar intervention for a duration of 3 months.
Experimental Group (T 1 )
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received Date Cider Vinegar (DCV) for a duration of 3 months.
Experimental Group (T 2 )
EXPERIMENTALParticipants followed 5:2 Intermittent Fasting (two non-consecutive fasting days per week) along with DCV intervention for a duration of 3 months.
Interventions
The control group received standard dietary advice without vinegar supplementation or fasting intervention.
Participants were advised to take 15 ml of Date Cider Vinegar (DCV) diluted in 1 cup (250ml) of water 15 minutes before breakfast and dinner daily for a duration of 3 months.
