Wanted to do an experiment to See how much cinnamon works on fasting blood sugar.
Started taking 1 g of cinnamon extract approximately two days ago. Last night I had a really high carbohydrate meal consisting of pasta, bread and halo top ice cream. I took 1 g dose of cinnamon extract right before I ate and started feeling a little hypo about one hour later. So I checked my blood sugar with my blood glucometer and my blood sugar read 74. Now granted normally after a huge meal like thatwith desert my blood sugar will usually read about 105 to 110
So what I did is cut the dose back to 500 mg of cinnamon extract every meal and I'm going to experiment with this for a few days.
I want to add a few things to this post and I would also like to hear if anyone has experimented with just cinnamon alone. What I've felt so far is definetly reminiscent of dieting where insulting seninsitivy is high. My blood sugar feels lower after a meal. I'm staying hungry and I feel like my body is utilizing the food I'm eating a lot better as well. I've become a little desensitized to carbs being as I haven't diet in a while now. Also I've never tried a GDA or insulin once but I do know PLENTY about being carb sensitive while dieting.
Let me know what you guys think. I'm definitely proof you can take cinnamon extract alone and get a GDA type effect, at least with my body I have so far.
