Long term daily usage of cinnamon make be troublesome because of build up of impurities due to manufacturing process.Cinnamon supplements recommended. Moderate exercise also important and quitting smoking if thats a factor.

Hi Shelley, I got my Cinnamon at Walmart, its the Rexall brand. Cost about $4.86 or something like that 60 caps. I take the 1000 mg. (I take 1 X 2 times daily with meals.) (breakfast & supper) I never run out of energy unless I'm having a stressful day, then rest and I am good to go. I exercise also. Best thing that ever happen to me.

Default When does Gestational Diabetes normally start?
Ok, I know everyone doesn't get it but even before I was pregnant I was on a controlled diet to maintain my blood sugar and it's getting worse but I’m only 16weeks so I was wondering if may be I have it already. Thanks for your answers and I’m going to ask my doctor at my next visit just was kind of wondering now. When does Gestational Diabetes normally start?
