Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Robbity" data-source="post: 1512111" data-attributes="member: 93179">I've always used cinnamon in my baking and cooking for very many years and since well before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so it's obviously not done anything to prevent me from ending up diabetic.What HAS  actually helped me to control my diabetes though, is eating a very low carbohydrate diet - much more so than either metformin (which I now no longer take) or any  possible benefits from using cinnamon. With this lifestyle, I've managed to keep my diabetes to pre-diabetic levels for the last three years. Since cinnamon plays just a very small but regular  part my diet, I've no way of identifying whether or not it currently has any impact on my glucose levels.  So my answer to your survey would have to be : Don't know!The only disavantage I've found to using cinnamon in my cooking (though not diabetes related!), is that as a known blood thinner, in too large a quantity it's occasionally aggravated my (at one time) regular nose bleeds.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Robbity</blockquote>
