The Claim
An instagram video by the name yostwellnesscenter posted a video where she is talking about cinnamon and apple cider vinegar. She said in her video that drinking apple cider vinegar and cinnamon will reverse diabetes overnight.
Fact Check
Is it possible to cure diabetes overnight?
No. It is not possible to cure both type 1 and type 2 diabetes overnight. It is a chronic condition that involves issues with blood sugar regulation.
- Type 1 Diabetes: This type occurs when the immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As of now, there is no cure, and managing type 1 diabetes requires ongoing insulin therapy.
- Type 2 Diabetes: This type involves insulin resistance and eventual beta cell dysfunction. While type 2 diabetes can sometimes put into remission through lifestyle changes, it cannot be reversed overnight. Long-term commitment to lifestyle changes is necessary for effective management.
Is it possible to reverse diabetes overnight?
No, it is not possible to reverse diabetes overnight. Type 2 diabetes can be put in remission and management with diet, exercise and medication is possible.
- Type 1 Diabetes: As mentioned, there is no known cure or reversal method for type 1 diabetes.
- Type 2 Diabetes: While some individuals with type 2 diabetes have achieved significant improvements in their condition through lifestyle changes and medication, this process typically takes weeks or months, not overnight. Significant and sustained changes in diet, exercise, and sometimes medication can lead to better blood sugar control and, in some cases, a state of remission where blood sugar levels return to normal without medication. However, this is a gradual process and not an overnight transformation.
Does consumption of cinnamon and apple cider vinegar help reverse diabetes overnight?
No. It is important to note that there is no medication, home remedy or hypoglycemic herbs capable of reversing type 1 or 2 diabetes overnight.
In a recent 2023 study, researchers examined the effects of apple cider vinegar on adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants were divided into two groups: one group consumed 30 ml of ACV daily, while the other group followed the same healthy diet but did not consume ACV. After 8 weeks, various health markers were measured, including fasting blood glucose and haemoglobin A1C. The results showed that fasting blood glucose levels decreased significantly in the ACV group compared to the control group. Haemoglobin A1C
In 2019 another study was conducted where the subject took 500 mg of cinnamon twice a day for three months and the result showed an improvement in fasting blood sugar, HbA1C and insulin resistance. The improvements were especially noticeable in patients who started with a higher BMI (27 or more).
Dr. Ritesh Bansal, Founder and Senior Consultant Diabetologist at Saroj Diabetes & Research Center, Gurugram, notes that while cinnamon has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits and can support diabetes management, it is not a substitute for conventional treatment. Dr. Bansal emphasises that while natural remedies can complement lifestyle changes, patients should adhere to their medical treatments given by their healthcare provider.
Voomika Mukherjee, practicing Dietitian and health coach, said while these components can help alleviate symptoms, they should not be a replacements for diabetes medications. Additionally, there is insufficient conclusive evidence to support that cinnamon and apple cider vinegar alone can effectively treat type 2 diabetes.
