Diabetic patients are exposed to high blood sugar level after nutrition on carbohydrate-rich food content.
Therefore, lowering the carbohydrate digestion rate may contribute to lowering the level of glucose in the blood. Reducing digestion increases the sense of satiety and may contribute to weight loss programs.
That probably will not work in the long or short run. These individuals crave, in effect behave as though they are addicted to over consumption of refined carbohydrate meals and snacks. It is what the patient is eating, not the rate of absorption that is the problem.
There are invitro and invivo studies documenting acetic acid could reduce the glucose absorption by reducing intestinal disaccharidase activities.
