Balsamic Vinegar with Type 2 Diabetes

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Balsamic Vinegar is classified as conditionally suitable for Type 2 Diabetes based on current dietary assessments. Dips and sauces vary greatly in composition – from high in salt to high in fat – and can affect the overall nutritional quality of a meal. With type 2 diabetes, particular attention is paid to carbohydrates and their effect on blood sugar – both the quantity and type of carbohydrates are considered. The reasoning given is: high sugar content can blood sugar spikes cause. The assessment is supported by a broad evidence base.
