does it really matter what type of cinnamon you take to help lower blood sugar in type II diabetes?
I buy organic cinnamon powder and capsule it, taking two capsules in the morning and two in the evening, the large capsules.
According to research I have read, just a ¼ teaspoon twice per day will benefit and that is what the dosage should be. The active components in the cinnamon aren’t lost if heated, so you can add cinnamon to teas and cooked oatmeal. Just be careful not to use too much (more than ½ teaspoon) since it can affect the insulin levels and may alter how medications work.

The use of cinnamon as an antidiabetic is not yet scientifically proved as its action reactions, side effects over dose etc.
