Yes, it does. It also helps control triglycerides and cholesterol. This does not mean that taking cinnamon all by itself is going to help much. It is a small part of a comprehensive plan that includes nothing but healthy foods and a daily exercise routine. More on that here: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html
I was just wondering. Since my blood sugar has been messed up it has caused frequent yeast infections, does that also cause problems with getting pregnant? I just started taking my medicine again, so things should get better but i have been wondering because i have been with the same guy for 5 years and i have never gotten pregnant, but i also have poly cystic ovarian syndrome
It won’t affect your fertility, but you need to get your BG’s in very strict control before you even think about getting pregnant. Diabetes and pregnancy don’t mix well even in the best of circumstances. Rates of miscarriage and birth defects are extremely high, so it’s possible you’ve been pregnant and quickly miscarried if your BG’s have been high. Start working with a diabetes educator…your A1C’s will need to be < 6.0 before you even get pregnant to maximize your chances for a healthy delivery.
Right now I check it before meals and before bed.
I would say that is the minimum amount. It is a good idea to check before exercises or activities…or if you have regular low periods.

I’ve found that blood sugar control becomes easier with weight loss, healthy diet, and plenty of daily exercise. The better I do at those, the less medication I need. I’ve actually gone several days without medication just by diligent application of the above.
Exercise is the best substitute for Metformin.Metformin increases the insulin(already existing in your body)to go into cells .Metformin does not stimulate production of insulin.Exercise also facilitates insulin transmission into cells.Exercise is good for the body in several other ways.Even if you do not lose weight,exercise improves insulin utilisation.Advice to all diabetics–Try diet and exercise first.Drugs only if diet and exercise fail.
