   It is not a cure in itself, but taken regularly can help to reduce your blood sugar. You can find cinnamon in capsule form at most pharmacies these days, just follow the instructions on the bottle (usually a couple of capsules several times a day.)

   Don’t use cinnamon as an excuse not to treat your diabetes with a doctor’s help!

   Cinnamon has no effect on diabetes. The only sure control is insulin; fortunately, new insulin delivery systems are easy to use and virtually painless. See a doctor for appropriate prescriptions. There are some drugs which can be taken orally; these may help, but there is no guarantee.

   I would question the role that cinnamon can play in any diabetic cure but I wouldn’t rule it out either as it may or may not be of an medical value. But look it up on the Web and see what others have to say.

   Cinnamon has benefits but it cannot be used alone to treat diabetes instead it can be used as a supplement.

   Cinnamon has many health benefits. It has shown promise in the treatment of diabetes, arthritis, high cholesterol, memory function, and even leukemia and lymphoma.

   Two teaspoons of cinnamon has about 12 calories.

   Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.

   Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes.

   In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections.

   In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.

   It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.

   When added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.

   One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory.

   It is a great source of manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.

   In one lab study, the team said it found that cinnamon contains polyphenols, or antioxidants, that boost proteins that are important in activating insulin, transporting glucose and responding to inflammation

   The second study extracted proanthocyanidin, a type of polyphenol in the commonly used spice that researchers say may have insulin-like properties.

   This is another urban legend. A whole group of us (all diabetics, it’s a support group) used this for 8 months. Nothing . No ones readings were any different.
