Does anyone use cinnamon on a regular basis to help control BG? Have you had much success? Thanks. > Does anyone use cinnamon on a regular basis to help control BG?

I was actually glad when I stopped using it because it was leaving me with the taste of cinnamon in my mouth all the time and I felt like I reeked of it. >Does anyone use cinnamon on a regular basis to help control BG?

Since then I have used it infused (I use the quills) in my morning black coffee for the taste - still with no effect but it tastes good.

YMMV. >Does anyone use cinnamon on a regular basis to help control BG? Have >you had much success? There's speculation that it would help if you were chromium deficient - which you're not likely to be if you have a varied diet. You could ask for a test, I guess... personally, I continue to chuck some in foods I like it with, and have seen no effects either way. Nicky.

I'm certain I've read that, but all I can find is a strong connection with manganese: http://www.whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=68 Will keep looking for the chromium link. I ripped google desktop off my laptop because it was too resource-hungry, but it sure found stuff... Nicky.
