Use Cinnamon to Control Blood Sugar

Cinnamon can help control blood sugar, likely by slowing glucose entry into the bloodstream and possibly gastric emptying. Use it in a beverage or on food before or with a big, sugary, or carbohydrate-heavy meal to blunt glucose increases. Do not exceed about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons per day due to toxicity risk.
