Re: your opinion on cinnamon?

Mark:

I have been taking Cinnamon and I think it helps. I have heard others say

the same thing.

your opinion on cinnamon?

for the past 2 days my sugars are now running in the 90's. everything has

been the same as it has been over the past 2 weeks plus for me. carb intake

the same at all my meals, eat at the same times and one hour every day on

the bike. the only thing different is I started taking 2 cinnamon pills in

the morning and again in the evening. I have read and heard if you are

watching your carb intake and exercising that cinnamon can as well help to

control your blood sugar. I'm still on 20 units of a morning and 17 at

dinner. the doc did say to fax my numbers in if they changed up or down from

where they was last week. I'm thinking if they remain in the 90's for a few

more days I will fax them in so he can see what is happening. I will let him

know I started taking cinnamon, but as most docs will tell us it has no real

proof of doing any good or not. I think it has made a difference because

nothing else in my life has changed. I know other T 2's that eat right and

take cinnamon and do well with keeping there A1C's down in the safe range.

just wanted to know what you guys thought about cinnamon for helping to

control blood sugar or is it just one more way to make money for us who

believe it works?

I will concur about cinnamon. I don't have it very often, but my recollection is

it helps. No " official " proof, but then, I don't put all that much stock in

official studies and research.

As you are finding out, Mark, you do what works for you. What more proof is

there?
