Does aged balsamic vinegar contain sugar?
Yes, however it is all natural sugar from the fruits. In fact, it’s probably one of the sweetest vinegars on the market. But ironically, many research studies have found that adding 1 – 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to your meal can help certain diabetics improve their blood sugar control. The reason for that lies in one key nutrient: acetic acid. The acetic acid in vinegar tends to slow down the work of several carb-digesting enzymes in our intestine. Accordingly, some sugars and starches will pass through the system without being ingested into the bloodstream. So diabetics can enjoy the sweetness of balsamic vinegar without worrying about a sugar spike. Isn’t it a win-win situation?
Good info, but in the first line you have “sweetest vinegar’s” – the apostrophe in vinegars is incorrect, it is plural and not possessive.
We will update it, Thank you.
Why not just be thankful for the info? No need to correct punctuation.
Helps the company from unfairly appearing unprofessional.

Is balsamic vinegar with “added” sugars ok for a diabetic to use?
Best if you consult with your physician for your medical needs. We can only speak for our balsamics which do not have any added sugar.
