Hi Evelyn,

 

I sprinkle regular cinnamon in my herbal tea every night. I like the

way it tastes, and type 2 diabetes is strong in my family and cinnamon

helps with blood sugar. I don't have diabetes yet, but both my

parents had it and my sister has it. I'm in my 50's. and I'm doing

any little thing that may help me avoid it completely.
