[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 968383, member: 43498"] That sounds like an excellent (and tasty) low carb eating plan. I don't know much about cinnamon except that there is a certain kind that is better for lowering BG, and you'd need to make sure you are using enough of it while not using too much. You might want to do a search for threads about it. There is some fairly good research evidence that it does lower BG, by small amounts. To be honest, I'd be perfectly happy with BGs like yours, because I think the key is to stay under the level where complications can occur. For me, this is 7.8 (based on Blood Sugar 101) and for others it is 8.5 (based on the NICE guidelines). I don't have a large budget to work with for food and supplements, so I'm happy without pushing my BGs down too far. Everyone is different though. If you want to get your BGs lower, there's nothing wrong with that. Fasting BG does seem to come down slowly over time, and the amount of time can be highly variable between people. I remember [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] saying something about this so she might have some ideas that can help you. [/QUOTE]
