Not started the cinnamon yet , although my partner has started the chromium picolate, currently at 400ug per day. more of this in a moment.Unfortunately just before going on hol, i'd read abouta book about nutrition for diabetics, and in particular the need for fiber suppliments for people on low carb diets. so purchased a tub of soluble fiber, called "Benefiber", and both of us used it from the start of the hols.My partner is also type 2, but controls by diet only.Both of us started to lose control of our blood sugars within 48hrs, and initially assumed it was due to us being away from home.For the past 12 months, we've had nearly normal blood sugers. but know we were getting readings up into the mid eights after meals and taking the fiber. I also found that my lowest readings had jumped up to the mid to high 5's, before I would normally have at least 5 hours per day in the mid to low 4's.It's taken nearly 3 weeks for the penny to drop, and link it to the fiber . We both stopped taking it 3 days ago, and almost immediately our blood sugars are starting to return to our previous norms.Has anyone else had any similar experience with taking fiber. Looking at Bernstiens bible. He clearly is of the opinion the fiber is not reuired or essential ???.Would be interested to hear others views on the matter.With regards to the Chromium. I can't tell at the moment if it is having any affect because of the problems above</blockquote>
