Has anyone tried taking cinnamon tablets to help lower bs? My physician is wanting to add a prescription to my Glucophage, but I refuse to take more meds... I really want to lower my levels on my own but dieting is difficult since I have passed 40.

" Soak over night, 8-10 Raisins (seedless green or golden dried grapes) in
1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice. Eat them next morning before breakfast, with 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon & fenugreek Powder daily.

Take some natural garlic, vitamin C & B6 daily, with the food rich in
Magnesium & Chromium. If finding natural is difficult, take them as Tablets or Pills.
This simple & easy home remedy, as a supplement, can remarkably reduce
the blood glucose in majority of Type 2 Diabetics

Does this apply to cinnamon in general or just the cinnamon sticks and pills?

I was told to take at least 1 teaspoon of cinnamon a day and it didn't matter in what form as long as it had no other additives such as sugar of course, I have been taking the pills for about a month now and I have noticed my sugars are much lower. Good Luck.

Meme,
Just a word of caution...

Type 2 is often a progressive illness, plus it can be more immediately severe in some people than in others. Sure, give cinnamon a try, but if it doesn't work in a month, it might be time to add to the arsenal of medication. First, you might ask your doctor about increasing the dose of glucophage, depending on what your current dose is. Then there are other oral medications that can be added.

Whatever you do, please make sure you don't let this go for too long. A month or two is fine, but longer than that with high blood sugars and you are risking serious complications.
