The haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test tells you your average level of blood sugar over the past two to three months and fasting blood sugar measures your blood sugar after an overnight fast.
Informed consent from all patients and ethical approval from the institutional ethics board was obtained.
What did the researchers find out?
All the parameters underwent a more significant reduction in fasting blood sugar and HbA1c in the apple cider vinegar and metformin group than metformin alone.
“However, no significant difference was obtained in the post-treatment comparisons of weight and Body Mass Index in between the two groups,” the researchers wrote.
