Cinnamon is a rather weak supplement for glucose control.

Chromium is much stronger, and some doctors even suggest it to their patients. There are two basic types, Chromium picolinate and Chromium polynicotinate. The latter is considered better.

The studies on cinnamon are conflicting, and if any effect is seen it required high doses.

If you Google "Cinnamon glucose" you'll find some articles.

Also R-lipoic acid will lower blood glucose some. It is also good for the PN, as well.
