Are you doing cinnamon? My doc said I was pre-diabetes due to family history. I was already working out, but I added Cinnabetic and my blood glucose dropped like a rock.

I was in the same position, without the working out (just yet, need to loose a little more weight to save my knees). Same thing, although my Doc never said anything about Cinnabetic, just regular old cooking Cinnamon, but also said you could get it in capsules in health food stores. Tried the loose cooking sort, but yuck. The only problem with the capsules is they make me burp cinnamon, but I guess there's worse tastes to sample a second time. Doc was suitably pleased at the follow up.

The deal with cinnamon is very simple ~ drop a quarter to a full teaspoon per day of ground cinnamon into a cup of hot coffee or tea. The active ingredient that helps you metabolize insulin will dissolve in the water. The other, non watersoluable, but mildly carcinogenic oils and solids will then precipitate out in the bottom of the cup.

BTW, do not put in any cream since it's going to hold the oils and solids in suspension.

Drink the tea or coffee down to the grounds. Throw the rest away.

I wouldn't cook with the stuff. Nasty!!!!
