Type 2 diabetics suffer from both chronically high blood sugar rates as well as wild fluctuations in their blood sugar. This causes a great deal of damage to the body and over time can actually cause health issues that can kill a diabetic. For example, many diabetics die from heart disease and many others suffer from foot and leg amputations. The effect of high blood sugar greatly lowers the quality of life for a diabetic. For example, it can make you chronically ill, lethargic, and prone to infections.

Anything that the diabetic can do to keep blood sugar levels from rising is a good thing. One of the most effective natural remedies for lowering blood sugar is a teaspoon to a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a day. Many diabetics have reported almost miraculous results with apple cider vinegar.

You should always buy organic unfiltered (the kind that looks cloudy) apple cider vinegar from a trusted source. It is relatively cheap given the health benefits you can reap from it.

Apple cider vinegar also confers other health benefits to the diabetic. For example, many diabetics have inflamed joints due to their compromised immune systems. This can be greatly relieved by taking apple cider vinegar.

To take it, just mix the teaspoon or tablespoon with a bit of water and drink it down. It can be a bit on the sour side but if you take if fast and follow it up with plain water it's not so bad. Some people add it to tea but it is better if you don't heat it, and if you do, not too much.
