Hi Thom...
     I had started taking Cinnamon, last Spring.. I can't really say, but I 
have been trying hard. Before Cinnamon, I was still doing well, ( sadly for 
the first time in a long while ) My a1c was 6.3, with really no other 
changes in meds, the following and last a1c I had which was after taking the 
cinnamon for about 4 months was a 6.0 I was told that was excellent. It is 
easy to take, and honestly, I like to sniff the bottle, smells like cinnamon 
toast. But is that what helped? I dunno, but got a big bottle at Sams for 
about 3 or 4 bucks. So It won't break anyone who wants to try it.

The Doc says my tricglycerides were high due to the diabetes. He put me on 
Fish oil.. I don't know that that works and hate to have to taste like 
anchovies every time I burp. We shall see in December if it is helping.

Mike
