Cinnamon

[Luke]

I started taking two 500 mg cinnamon pills per day about two weeks ago to help with my sugar levels. I must say, that I can tell it is working. I have skipped a day intentionally to see if I could "feel" a difference, and I can.

This is obviously something that I know is working for me. Is anyone else doing this?

What are you finding with your BGs, Luke?

I found Cinammon has given me the tingles in my extremities, I have tended to notice that these properties to wake up the nerves might have an effect on me.

I've been taking chromium which I've found to likely have a minor but beneficial effect. I switched halfway between one brand to another that included cinnamon too (just co-incedence) but have found no change in BG trends. So what I've found is, no effect on BG levels for me.

I wrote a bit abnout what I found with the Chromium here http://www.diabetesforums.com/forum/other-medications/35355-taking-chromium-bit-log.html

In that "other medications" forum you'll probably find some more discussion on cinnamon, too.

I have found that since taking the cinnamon, my levels are more consistant. They are staying in the 118-128 range, and I feel GREAT
