Cinnamon?

I'm sure I've missed a thread or two regarding cinnamon, so I apologiza if my question is redundant.

I recently tried a flax seed muffin (from a recipe I found here) that has a heavy dose of cinnamon as one of the ingredients. When I have two of the small muffins for breakfst, my blood sugar is well below the maximums set by my doc for post meal readings. Could it be the cinnamon? The effect seems to last all day -I even had 1/2 of a sweet potato and a small piece of bread with dinner last night, and my 2-hour reading was 94! This has happened pretty consistently for about a week and a half now, since adding the muffins as my breakfast food of choice.

I am thinking of adding cinnamon as a supplement - what dose is recommended? Are there different levels of quality in the supplements available? Any info is greatly appreciated!
