   The cinnamon that is bought in a health food store not in a spice rack. You need to take one gram a day. You will also benefit from doing a regular exercise program as that will help to burn off the sugar in the blood. Your diet will also have a considerable amount of influence upon the fluctuation of blood levels of sugar. The use of complex carbohydrates is necessary instead of white flour, sugar, processed foods, soda, and any food with high fructose corn syrup.

   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

   Plenty of research with lots of trial and error.

   Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Add it to your coffee, oatmeal, smoothie, or wherever you find it palatable.
   If you already suffer from diabetes, be sure to stay on a regular schedule with your cinnamon usage so that your blood sugar levels don’t yo-yo.Use the same amount at the same time every day so that you can get a sense of how cinnamon affects your own personal blood sugar readings.
   Use the powdered spice or a cinnamon stick. Cinnamon pills are also available, and can be found easily via an online search. MHCP is water soluble and is not found in cinnamon oil.

   Lime and lemon juice delay the digestion of starches as does vinegar. I’ve found that 2-3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice reduces my post prandial BG response by 10-20 points. Rick Mendosa’s site has a lot of material on acids in the diet. Take a look at http://www.mendosa.com/acidic_foods.htm .

   Both work!

   I tried it for a time, but for me it was only about 20% as effective as prescribed medications. I am a moderate Type 2 diabetic.

   it is rumord to help. I did not see a signicant improvement.
   I recomend a good multi vitamin like "alpa-betic" which is specifically made for us.
   I have much better numbers by taking 1 a day.
   the only noteable difference between standard & specific dibetic multivitamins is the quantity of cromimum.
   we all respond differently, and i find the learning curve to be huge.
   good luck.
