I took cinnamon for a long time. It seemed to help some. I know there was at least one study that said that cinnamon was not effective and a couple that indicated that it might be.

I started out doing Atkins but eventually evolved to a low carb diet with no processed food and lots of veggies. Nearly all my carbs come from veggies now - big salads, broccoli, cabbage, avocados. Sometimes I will also have a small amount of oatmeal for breakfast. My carbs range from about 20-50 gms a day. This is low enough for me to stay in ketosis. My blood sugar really stays under control if I eat this way, and I feel great. My weight is now in the normal range for my height.
