Hey, im 17 so dont think im a little kid when I say 'my dad' ..
My dad read that on the itnernet, he is the type where you dont take injections, he ordered cinnamon tablets off the internet after asking his doctor if they were ok to take with his medication and he still takes them too this day.
So, if you want cinnamon.. you want the cinnamon tablets :)
Yes, I have. I have a bottle of cinnamon and chromium capsules and they do lower my blood sugar. I don't know if it's one of them or the other, or the combination of the two that does it. You need more cinnamon than you will be able to sprinkle on food, so buy some cinnamon pills. It will come with instructions on how to take it, but I just take two when I eat something with a meal sized carbohydrate count. It's also good to take after exercise, since diabetics usually get a post-exercise spike in blood sugar.
Just to be clear, this will only help type 2 diabetics. It won't help type 1s at all unless they're insulin resistant also.
This has become a very common fad. There is not a single shred of credible medical evidence that cinnamon has any effect on blood glucose or diabetes at all. It is a fad and like most fads it will most likely soon be replaced by another silly medical claim. To paraphrase the Poet Laureate of Medicine - Oliver Wendell Holmes 1809-1894 - 'people are entitled to their superstitions and quackery and idolatry are all but immortal'. I wish you the very best of health and happiness and in all things may God bless. JR
I bought a bottle of capsules of Cinnamon and Chromium. Instructions on bottle say to use 2 capsules morning and evening to MAYBE help control glucose numbers.
Yes, it seems to help me and and I also take a baby (81 mg) aspirin daily as well which also makes the insulins and oral meds work better.
Put food down on top of the Cinn capsules or when they start disintegrating cause burping and it isn't pleasant to be burping cinn fumes. They burn throat.
