If your looking for the blood sugar benefit make sure you use the "Ceylon Strain" of cinnamon

Most of the "spice" cinnamon on the grocery store shelves is "Cassia" and is about as valuable as a Tic Tac for sugar control so you may have to look a bit or use something like Amazon to find it

The supplement versions, which can be found on the vitamin shelves are also a great source - quality controlled, fixed dosage and often paired up with other (traditional diabetic naturals) such as berberine.

Every little bit helps and if you otherwise like cinnamon then adding it to what you eat is a great way to do a little extra

But don't expect much. There is a reason all these naturals had to be replaced with pharmaceuticals. They were better than nothing but today, some snake oil sellers would have you believe these are a miracle cure

It can help you knock down a few points (or tenths of points if you measure in mmols) and that is always a good thing as part of your overall treatment plan
