try cinnamon supplements to help cut the sugar cravings. it works. i'm a candy addict who never eats it anymore. i still have a plastic pumpkin filled with halloween candy.

2 of my husbands clients who have pd..also sugar addicts take the cinnamon supplements now. they both have seen great results. (the supplements are found in the vitamin section in the store..like walmart.)

Recent studies have found that cinnamon may have a beneficial effect on blood sugar.
One of the first human studies was published in 2003 in a medical journal called Diabetes Care. Sixty people with type 2 diabetes took 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon in pill form daily, an amount roughly equivalent to one quarter of a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. After 40 days, all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose by 18 to 29%, triglycerides by 23 to 30%, LDL cholesterol by 7 to 27%, and total cholesterol by 12 to 26%.
