New research for Type 2 using cinnamon
This has to be of interest to anyone with Type 2. I can't post the entire article on here which has just been published by Diabetic Medicine journal vol 27; number 10; October 2010: 1159-1167.
But here is the abstract article which gives you a rough idea. Contact me for any more details if required
The 2gms of cinnamon consisted of 4 capsules x 500mg/day taken as 1 @breakfast; 2 @ lunch; 1 @ dinner. All capsules were obtained from Holland Barrett and were 100 cinnamon bark and pure.
I'm trying it from today

Abstract
Aims To determine the blood glucose lowering effect of cinnamon on HbA1c, blood pressure and lipid profiles in people with type 2 diabetes.
Methods 58 type 2 diabetic patients (25 males and 33 females), aged 54.9 ± 9.8, treated only with hypoglycemic agents and with an HbA1c more than 7% were randomly assigned to receive either 2g of cinnamon or placebo daily for 12 weeks.
Results After intervention, the mean HbA1c was significantly decreased (P<0.005) in the cinnamon group (8.22% to 7.86%) compared with placebo group (8.55% to 8.68%). Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP) were also significantly reduced (P<0.001) after 12 weeks in the cinnamon group (SBP: 132.6 to 129.2 mmHg and DBP: 85.2 to 80.2 mmHg) compared with the placebo group (SBP: 134.5 to 134.9 mmHg and DBP: 86.8 to 86.1 mmHg). A significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) was observed at week 12 compared to baseline in the cinnamon group, however, the changes were not significant when compared to placebo group. There were no significant differences in serum lipid profiles of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterols neither between nor within the groups.
Conclusions Intake of 2g of cinnamon for 12 weeks significantly reduces the HbA1c, SBP and DBP among poorly controlled type 2 diabetes patients. Cinnamon supplementation could be considered as an additional dietary supplement option to regulate blood glucose and blood pressure levels along with conventional medications to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Re: New research for Type 2 using cinnamon
100 x 500 mg capsules (so 25 days worth) £14.99 from Holland and Barrett.
They smell wonderful
But quite big
Started my own personal research with them tonight...and will try and get a HbA1c done in 3 months or so time and see what the results are like. Having just had mine last week hopefully I should get some indication of how it works...and I'll try and stay roughly the same with diet and exercise (God help me !!!)
Anyone want to have a bash with me??
Go on you know you want to
