Thanks a lot for sharing your success with us. For those unfamiliar with GFR, here's a description: "Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): Your GFR tells how much kidney function you have. It may be estimated from your blood level of creatinine. If your GFR falls below 30 you will need to see a kidney disease specialist (called a nephrologist), Your kidney doctor will speak to you about treatments for kidney failure like dialysis or kidney transplant. A GFR below 15 indicates that you need to start one of these treatments." http://www.kidney.org/kidneydisease/ckd/knowgfr.cfm Be well! JP That’s wonderful news, Steve!

I wonder if a smaller dosage of vinegar may be more beneficial for you? Since adopting your vinegar regimen, have you tested your blood sugar prior to meals and afterwards when you feel sleepy? It would be interesting to determine if there's a connection to be found there. Be well! JP Hi, Alvin.

Been trying this for 12 weeks now and been off the actos. My fasting sugar content now is between 70-85. I take about 2 tsp. white vinegar after each meal X 3 meals daily. Does not taste good but it works. I have type 2 diabetes been taking 15 mg of actos daily, The Dr. Oz show talked about vinegar(4tsp) daily in your diet.

I would try adding the least amount of water necessary in order to make it tolerable. You might also consider drinking the ACV through a straw. This is an old trick that some dentists recommend in order to keep acidic beverages from making contact with tooth enamel. This could be used in addition to or instead of diluting the ACV. A little trial and error should reveal the winning formula. If you're at risk for type 2 diabetes, please search under the term "metabolic syndrome". I've covered this topic extensively over the past few years. It's a major health issue which seems to be growing in its impact. Be well! JP Thank you, Lisa! :)

Really enjoying your blog! Haven't gotten very far into it yet, but it's so refreshing to find well-written, info-packed articles that aren't biased or designed to get you to buy a book to "find out more!" Regarding the vinegar issue: I've tried taking apple cider vinegar straight in the past (just a tablespoon per day), but found that I developed painful mouth ulcers from it. If the acv pills aren't worth their salt, so to speak, does it matter if one dilutes the vinegar with water? Not diabetic yet, but had been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, and have had gestational diabetes in the past, which was controlled by diet alone. Thanks for the valuable insight! Lisa Hi, JP!

I highly recommended them! http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/121661575/abstract http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122304734/abstract Be well and happy holiday to you and yours!
