We are coming to the end of Diabetes Awareness Month and I have a tip for those who want a simple way to lower your blood sugar level.
Adding some cinnamon to your daily routine will do more than just add more flavor to your cooking.
Recent preliminary evidence shows that cinnamon may help reduce blood sugar. This would definitely be a boon for diabetics.A December 2003 study in Diabetes Care reported on people with type 2 diabetes who were given differing daily amounts of cinnamon (1, 3, or 6-gram capsules).
Irrespective of the amount of cinnamon they received, the study group reduced their blood glucose levels by 18 to 29 percent compared to those receiving a placebo. In addition this group also showed a reduction in their LDL ("bad") cholesterol.So if you are diabetic, you may want to add one-quarter teaspoon of cinnamon to your diet twice daily. Then check to see if you also receive this positive effect. I have found success using cinnamon. I add to tea which is sweetened with stevia. Stevia also has positive benefits on the blood sugar level.
