I started a cinnamon supplement last week. Anyone else do this & what were your results??

I'm looking to control my insulin levels so that I can drop weight more easily.

    I take cinnamon supplements too. I started taking it long before I started metformin and my fasting glucose levels did not seem to be affected by the cinnamon; it was still a bit high every time I did a blood test, which is why I finally agreed to take the metformin. I have bad circulation in one of my legs though, which caused my foot to fall asleep all the time and the cinnamon definitely helped that issue, I have way better circulation now which is why I've continued taking it.

    Hi I've just started taking cinnamon supplements so no real results as yet but combined with the metformin it seems to have carb cravings under control or at least better than before, keep us updated on your progress

    the only thing I have noticed so far is that I get a cinnamon after taste for a while ... not a bad thing compared to vitamins like fish oil or something. ~LOL

    Though, last night I took one with my dinner after a really high calorie workout and I became very faint and nauseated. So, I've decided that I won't take them with meals after a workout ....

    I have seen several post on Cinnamon.. What is it suppose to do?? I have been told that I have PCOS.. Ive never really had any testing done but I have several of the symptoms. I am on Metformin, b6, and chromium picolinate. I was recently told by a friend, That taking Folic Acid will help in getting prego.

    Cinnamon is supposed to help control blood sugar levels. And Folic Acid is just a vitamin ... it does not cause fertility BUT if you were to get pregnant ... studies have shown that taking folic acid prior to concieving can prevent spinal disorders in a developing fetus'
