I read that Cinnamon reduces BG and have started adding a sprinkle to my Weetabix in a morning. Are there any other foods that actively reduce or help to reduce BG. ?
 
Camomile Tea. If I drink a cup it will lower my blood sugar by 2 to 3 points within the hour. Every time! It is well worth trying. I just dunk a tea bag or two,and drink. It is amazing.

Sorry to intrude on your topic /: but I love the Twinings fruit tea range as I find that normal tea brings my blood sugars up a bit... Peppermint tea is my favourite at the moment and also helps with those little tummy niggles

At the moment I've got the peppermint, chamomile and honey, strawberry and raspberry and cinnamon and cherry teas by Twinings and they're fantastic I recommend them! Especially if you like warm drinks now that the winter is coming

Sorry again /:

Julia - I have found the same effect - I dont even have to drink a full cup - just use one teabag to make a mini teapot each day and add a little to whatever I drink with my breakfast and evening meal. it has helped me a lot. with someone would do some research on this so we could manage on pills instead of jabs 4 times a day!!!
 
lemon juice or apple cider vinegar added to prepared food
 
Yes trevor, reducing carbs does. How are your bg levels after your Weetabix? I cant eat that it shoots my levels up.
 

...Kerry-Michelle, the threads are for everyone, your posts are as valid as everyone else's..

....perhaps its the milk in your tea thats causing your bs levels to rise, it does that to me too..[in coffee]
