Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	This is one of those things I read about in a magazine, but never did a darn thing about it for my daughter. What's my problem? I did however tell her that hot baths lower blood sugar when you are in a pinch. They do. It works for her. But here's the biggie: 500mg. of cinnamon two capsules in the morning two at night You can buy them at the drug, or vitamin store. They're not even expensive. We may have something here! A dear friend bought a bottle for my daughter because she's tried it and it's working for her! I am so excited about this. I had to share. I'll keep you posted on my daughter's success. Let me know if you or a loved one decides to try it.

I add it to my tea, on my cereal hot or cold and on all the sugar free deserts I make. I am beginning to feel invisible here. I figure I eat about 2 tablespoons a day and it tastes good too. Haven't tried the capsules however. I will get some of those too...

Ok, I finally broke down and bought some and ...... I can't remember what I bought them for!!! And even tho I check the forums several times a day, do you think I remembered to do a search for 'flax seed oil'? Not. I'm telling ya, it's just ol' Alz hanging out at my house. That's all. Just old Al.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Well Unique you've come to the right place. Actually flax seed is good for numerous things all good for us, but we were talking about regularity and it is especislly good for keeping one regular, also for energy and has been kinown to darken a persons hair, yep right back to the natural color....You can't go wrong taking it, but start slow and build gradually to about 2 tbls. a day. I buy the seeds and grind mine fresh...it doesn't stay at full strength if loeft to long even in the fridge once its been ground...Capsules don't have the same problem...

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	Dots, last fall, maybe summer, when we were taking a walk, I told you about that article in the paper about cinnamon too! You must be distracted. I wonder why? Lion, the article I read said that having a tsp of cinnamon a day can help your body to process sugar and help ward off type II diabetes -- at least I think that's the explanation. I'm putting it in my (decaf) cappuccino in the a.m. Don't have diabetes, but I want to process those sugars!

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Lionspaaw it also has a property in it that helps the cells open up to the insulin the body makes naturally which in turn helps keep the glucose regular. I put the ground up spice in my morning tea, on toast and/or cereal and it tastes good too. I haven't tried the capsules but am buying some to try on the days I don't feel like eating.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	DJ, I remember now that you mention it. So let's see... I read about it in a magazine, you told me, AND chatty told me, but it wasn't until my friend gave me the bottle that I decided to give it a try. That's pathetic. I feel as though I was neglecting my daughter. She's taking 4 a day. We go to the doctors this month. We'll see what happens.

Scorpio115 Member Registered: 10/03/05 Posts: 44 Loc: New York	Dotsie: This is long after you wrote the bit on cinnamon but I was checking out this forum because I have Type I diabetes. I take a couple of shots a day. Strangely enough I was diagnosed with this insulin-dependent form of the disease in my early 40's. I'm not doing too well on maintaining my blood sugars even after all these years (15) so I'm willing to try the cinnamon tablets. As I read that your daughter has it, have you found any other tips?
