Cinnamon doesn't directly lower blood sugar. It aids our own insulin in getting the glucose into the cells. Therefore, it would depend on how insulin resistant you are, how much sugar you take in, how much fat is clogging up your cells, lots of things.
Cinnamon is not a cure all. It is merely part of a comprehensive diet plan that must include low carb/sugar intake, low fat intake, lots of exercise, and good weight management. In addition to helping your body lower blood sugar, cinnamon is also reported to help lower cholesterol and triglycerides.

First off there was a Harvard University large grant subsidized study, just released in June that showed there is no direct evidence that Cinnamon has aANY positive effects on diabetes, blood glucose levels or triglyceride levels, in TypeI and Type II Diabetes cases, In fact 9% of the 2000 study sujects had negative effects directly linked to the Cinnamon intake. Stomach Ulcers, IBS and various gastrointestional problems were found to worsen when Cinnamon was taken as a part of this study

The study reviews will depend on how they're designed and the humans who've participated. However, the outcome aren't dis-encouraging. If anything optimistic got here out, that signifies that cinnamon can quite aid. And the name of the game lays within its add-ons. But, the name of the game to minimize blood sugar is to paintings rough in lots of traces (use cinnamon, do activity, minimize carb consumption, pick healthful meals, hinder/restrict alcohol, smoking; check out to manage with strain, and so on). As you might even see, there are plenty of matters to get your blood sugar ordinary (or close ordinary for diabetics) once more. Good success!

Probably until the middle of next year. If you are diabetic and depending on cinnamon as a cure you will have a very long wait.
