The supplement Cinnamon.and chromium are found to have beneficial effects in lowering blood pressure by controlling the body weight. The researchers chose this popular spice because prior research had established that certain water-soluble polyphenolic compounds in cinnamon, called procyanidins (type A), act as insulin mimetics, i.e., they mimic the physiological actions of insulin. And a clinical trial on diabetic patients had shown that cinnamon had beneficial effects on blood levels of glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides (fats).and insulin resistance in Diabetes type 2.
How Does Cinnamon Affect Sucrose-Induced Hypertension?
In the new study, the researchers evaluated the effects of cinnamon on the systolic blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats whose diets contained a good deal of sucrose (cane sugar), the same kind of sugar that we humans consume in such great amounts.
Sucrose consists of two carbohydrate units—glucose and fructose—joined by a chemical bond; in the digestive tract, it breaks down to these two simpler sugars. The added sucrose would be expected not just to increase the rats’ blood glucose levels but also to raise their blood pressure even more—a phenomenon that has been associated with increased insulin resistance.
Either whole cinnamon powder or water-soluble cinnamon extract, can be used as a supplement. As mentioned above, the biologically active procyanidins (type A) are water-soluble, so they are found in the extract. [Also present is a compound called MHCP (methylhydroxychalcone polymer), which until 2004 was thought to be the substance primarily responsible for cinnamon’s reported ability to regulate glucose levels

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

"Just a half a teaspoon a day is all you need to get the blood

soaking a cinnamon stick in your next cup of tea. "

Be very careful about stuff like this. A colleague of mine was always reading how garlic was good for this, apricots good for that etc, to the point where he came to rely on these more than his prescribed medication. I am attending his funeral next week.
This is not a joke!
