Please help me understand here...so even if it's effective for IR, can it be effective for diabetes (A1C) or lower it?

Thanks.

I dont know if I got that info on this board from a cyster or on PCOSupport.org board. I think that you would be fine just keep a watch on your bs.
Thank you for letting me know. I haven't had the need to up it yet, but I know maybe in the future I might need to.

dapreciouspearl, my understanding is that it can help both IR and T2 Diabetes, the function is to help lower the blood sugar (diabetes) from what I recall. Can anyone else confirm this?

Hi girls! I saw that we were almost to the second page and thought I'd bump us up! I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying the spring weather, although personally I could do without the killer michigan tree pollen right now, its all over everything and the allergies are going nuts! Im at work right now but I will be back later! Take care

hello ladies, I was off my vitamin regimen for the past 2 weeks due to being really ill and despite that, AF showed, ironically. Well, did her whole spotty thing...but she still showed! I am back on my Cinnamon and I'm going to be getting off some of these other supplements as I don't see them working. I'll continue with the Cinnamon, Chromium Piconilate, Calcium Magnesium Potassium and B-100.

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.

I havent been taking cinnamon for 2 weeks and I can feel the difference. Im sluggish and no energy. The last time I went to Wal mart they were out. Hopefully when I go today there will be some there. I hope everyone is doing great.

bigbaby, I can always tell the difference too! I order directly from vitamins.com and they are very decent on prices and shipping/handling is always $3.95 either UPS or USPS, your choice. They have a buy 1 get 2 free deal going on right now, including Cinnamon pills. Check it out!

Thumbs up

I've been taking chromium picolinate and cinnamon now for a couple of weeks and got my af which i thought was not going to happen since i have been stressed out.
I also noticed i get fuller for longer and don't get any cravings plus even when i eat a little too much i have not put on any weight it has either stayed the same or i have lost a pound.Hooray for cinnamon
