There's pretty solid research suggesting that it can lower blood sugar by as much as 24%. (Also shown to lower cholesterol as well.)

The best part? It can't hurt you. :)

Cinnamon is very effective. but to say it cannot hurt is not quite true. Cinnamon is so effective that it can bring the Sugar too low if too much is had at one time. I am not diabetic, but I suspect pre diabetic and when I have too much cinnamon ( ie more than half a teaspoon at a time) my sugar levels went too low. People just need to be aware even though I would use this rather than any metformin type drug, we still need to keep wisdom that too much of anything is not so much a good thing.

Thanks for sharing.

You misunderstood my suggestion to the previous poster.

What I meant by; "It can't hurt", is that since cinnamon is a natural option vs. a pharmaceutical/chemical one, 'it can't hurt' to give it a try. I can't say the same of Metformin, etc.

I never even mentioned a dosage amount in my post; I only suggested that the poster look into cinnamon for lowering blood sugar. The rest (i.e. research and dosage amounts) is up to them.

I can suggest/explain it to them, but I can't understand it for them. :)
