Disclaimer--always check with your doctor, never take a nurse's advice, this is online discussion, not prescribing, I am not a licensed physician, ignore this if your doctor says it's not for you, nobody should take medical advice from an internet chat discussion, especially people with serious health conditions.
I'm totally serious about the disclaimer. Speaking as just a private person, that's what I did.

Living past 99 is a great achievment, being a diabetic makes it even more special.

There is a verse in the Bible that says that our food will be our medicine, and our medicine our food. Don't recall ever reading that: Could you supply a reference?

Some of the more "blood sugar lowering" or "beneficial to diabetics" foods:
pinto beans
nopalitos (prickly pear leaves)
mesquite beans
cinnamon
Coincidentally, these are also indiginous foods of the Mexican people, most of whom don't eat these anymore--could be why Hispanics have such high diabetes rates.

So if I have a cinnamon roll with my coffee each morning...

Bet the drug companies hate this stuff. I used to be very skeptical of supplementation, mainly because I was brain washed by the AMA.
The fact is, that God has provided us in nature, many of the things we need to cure common ailments. Pfizer can't patent cinnamon though. Johnson & Johnson can't corner the market on Myrhh. I believe that 21st century medicine will continue moving forward in some directions, by moving backwards. I bet in the Amazon forest, there are literally dozens of cures for known diseases, just waiting to be discovered.

Lowfat yoghurt, some diced apple, wheat germ and cinnamon make a great breakfast.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if a senior citizen with high cholesterol, diabetes and risk of heart disease could be treated with aspirin, cinnamon, and myrrh, instead of the current very expensive med?"Why can't they?

I've put a dash of cinnamon in my coffee maker for a long time. Also those blocks of Mexican chocolate have cinnamon in them.
I sprinkle cinnamon on my pork chops or tenderloins (with a marinade) before I grill them. Tastes great. Try baking your acorn squash with butter, honey and cinnamon, mmmmmm good. Cut and saute apple slices with butter, sugar and cinnamon to accompany your pork entree's.
Hey, what is this, the Freep cooking forum?

fill them with cinnamon from the grocery store.Don't get it from the grocery store if you can help it. It will cost a FORTUNE!! If you have access to a Sam's, Costco, or BJ's, you can buy a HUGH (18oz.) plastic container of cinnamon for not too much more than the little 2 oz. jars at the grocery store. For that matter, you could also buy 3-4" cinnamon sticks in the big plastic container as well. I've used those when I'm doing crafts! Now I'll start putting them in hot tea!

Does this mean I can have a large Cinnabon per day and still not gain weight or get diabetis?

I'm totally serious about the disclaimer. Speaking as just a private person, that's what I did. Your concern is noted, but I'm totally serious about being very nearly killed during my first heart episode in an emergency room when the doctor said that it was 'just bad heartburn'.
It turned out to be damn serious unstable Angina- I was rushed into surgery three days later a couple of hours short of death. It took my GP about five minutes to get me to a good cardio guy, who had me expedited onto the chopping block in a matter of about an hour. Ended up with a 5x bypass.
Moral of the story is that its up to me to listen to advice, but make my own decisions. I fall significantly short of being impressed by medical credentials alone, anymore.

Riley, you're in my prayers. We're all at the mercy of the doctors' ability to diagnose and treat...
I do whatever I can, for myself. And I keep track of advancements...I will be using cinnamon...
