A quarter teaspoon per day with breakfast did not work for me even after 40 days. I gave up cinnamon for about a month.
Then, I started again. This time, a half teaspoon mixed with my psyllium fiber morning drink began working almost immediately.
My typical morning reading before the above regimen was 135 to 139. I've been getting this reading for five years, except during occasions of illness when the readings would climb to around 150.
Readings following the new regimen are in the low 120's. Today's reading was 118.

You were asking earlier whether you could use the cheap cinnamon. I've seen the whole article (sorry, lost the url :-( and it definitely says that they actually used Cassia ("chinese cinnamon", Cinnamomum cassia), not the true Cinnamon ("Ceylon cinnamon", Cinnamomum zeylandium). If you're buying it in sticks, the cassia is much thicker, rougher, more like ordinary tree bark than the smooth thin curls you get im a Schwartz jar.
I tried the proper cinnamon a couple of years back, with no effect. I'm off to get some cassia tomorrow. See you in 40 days!

I've found the url for the Anderson cinnamon paper now. It was posted by Jenny on misc.health.diabetes early in April. It's at findarticles.com111401Open ↗ 179/p1/article.jhtml Something I hadn't noticed is that ALL participants were on Glibenclamide - which to my mind makes it a very poor study. Might easily be retitled something like "Potentating effects of cinnamon on glibenclamide". They really should have included some people on diet only.
