The cinnamon you have to take quite a bit of it to work.

YOu know I think your readings are pretty good. Did you check that chart I put up?

Remember that aggressive arm of the Accord program that tried to lower A1C arbitrarily too low, resulted in deaths.

Also new information is showing LOW blood sugar attacks in people and diabetics damages the brain irreversibly and may lead to dementia!

What is needed is common sense. If you are well controlled,
do not have infections, have good eyesight, and good blood pressure, I wouldn't sweat those last few readings myself. Quality of life is so important.

For cinnamon you need at least a gram or two a day.

So far with my d-chiro inositol, I lowered by blood sugar 14 pts, and my A1C by .2

I am continuing for the retest in Oct.
It is very expensive however...you would not like it. ($75 a month-- just reduced from $85.)

You could try regular inositol, and it might help. But it is not as powerful as the d-chiro form. If you do the regular it would need about 1 gram at least a day.

And BTW Asians are showing up in the news with type II now and many are not obese either:

People in Asia develop diabetes at a younger age and lower weight, suffer longer with chronic diabetes complications, and die sooner than those in developed countries, state Kun Ho Yoon (Department of Internal Medicine, Kangnam St Mary's Hospital, Seoul, South Korea) and colleagues. The health consequences of this epidemic threaten to overwhelm health-care systems in the region and urgent action is needed.
