Does cinnamon 'really'? lower blood sugar?

Question

I read that taking 1/2 teaspoon a day of cinnamon will lower one's blood sugar. I told my husband to do this..and lo and behold..within one week..it went down from 140 to 107. Yes, he does exercise and he is watching his food intake..but he did this before the cinnamon.

My question is: I once was told to take deep breaths before a blood pressure reading so my reading would go lower ..which it did of course..but someone else said..don't do that..you are getting a false reading. ..

so my question here is 'taking the 1/2 tsp cinnamon' seems to have lowered his blood sugar readings..is this giving a false reading???or is anything good to do...if the reading is lower/in normal range??

Answer 1

Normal blood sugar ranges are 90-131 mg/dl fasting and anything lower than 180 2 hours after meals.

Cinnamon does lower blood sugar and you should still take what medications that your doctor has prescribed for you.

***Make sure that the blood sugar level does not dip under 70. If the bs level drops below 70, you should try and get some type of sugar into the system so that the sugar level will go back up/

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Cinnamon may work for some but not others. I imagine it depends on how severe and what stage of Diabetes one is. Nothing other than insulin works for me. Someone that is border line, or their Diabetes is not at a level where insulin is required. Such as Type 1's. Then go for it. I'm for whatever works, and I have heard a number of people comment on Cinnamon helping doing the job.

Answer 7

Yes cinnamon lowers blood sugar, as you've seen yourself. No it's not a false reading, since your blood glucose monitor only reads your husbands blood.
It terms of blood pressure, deep breathing before a reading is great too. It is an accurate reading, again it's measuring your blood flow.
A lot of times, the CNA measures your blood the minute you have raced into the office. So, I would say that isn't a reading you would get @ rest.

Answer 8

Cinnamon lowers blood sugar but you have to also make changes on other aspects of like like your food habit, workout habit etc. I took advice from Dr Sam Robbins blog about cinnamon usage and that worked fine for me.

Answer 9

It depends which part of the cinnamon you are using. Cinnamon Bark will not work. Dixinol is a much better product. ALA TIme release will take away all your sugar cravings.

Answer 10

Yes! Cinnamon really does lower a person's blood sugar. I think it can also lower a person's cholesterol as well.
