Day 2 of the 30 Day Diabetes Cure

Sorry for not posting till today, it was my holiday. Anyways, today is day two of the plan, and I decided to change two things: number one is to include success stories throughout the plan; and second, is to add a  positive/negative symbol to indicate whether in the plan you will add something to your diet/exercise plan or take something away. Soon, I will be posting everything in the diabetes tab for easy access. Also, G-d willing, I will be posting everyday, and in case I miss a day, you have my apologies in advance.

Day two: Add cinnamon for lower blood sugar

       This common spice is mother nature's glucose reducer. eat a little everyday to lower your blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation.

the research:

A study found that when people with type II diabetes, consumed one to three grams of cinnamon daily, it reduced their fasting blood sugar levels by 29%, their triglycerides (fats) by 30%, their LDL cholesterol (aka their 'bad' cholesterol) by 27% and their overall cholesterol levels by 26%.

Simple steps to take today:

1. Dust cinnamon to your yogurts for breakfast or a snack
2. Sprinkle onto oatmeal, barley, lentils or split peas.
3. Blend a cup of cooked brown rice with some yogurt and cinnamon (and a little stevia if you wish), heat and enjoy for breakfast or dessert. 
4. Add a spoonful to the ground coffee in your coffeepot for a delightful taste and aroma. Or simply sprinkle it directly onto your coffee or tea.
5. Add some to your smoothies.
6. Sprinkle onto uncooked sweet potatoes, squash, or pumpkin. A half cup of canned pumpkin with cinnamon and a couple of tablespoons of cream tastes delightful!
7. Add a cinnamon stick to a glass of water and reuse until the stick unrolls.

A Case study: 

"When Tim first came to my office, he weighed 222 pounds. When I told him he was pre-diabetic, it hit him like a ton of bricks. At first, he dismissed the lab findings even though his A1-c was 7.5 and his blood pressure was 162/96. Instead of seeing this as an opportunity to change his life, he viewed the thirty day diabetes cure, as just another obstacle. At each exam, he'd complain about having to eat better, and schedule time for walking.But, like most of my patients, he noticed improvements right away. The pounds came off more easily than he expected after only a couple f weeks and he actually began to enjoy the eating plan. Fairly soon, he decided he could never go back to his old eating habits  After 3 Months, he had lost 26 pounds and his blood pressure had returned to normal  After 6 months, his A1-c was a normal 5.6"

Take action today: Use a teaspoon of cinnamon every day to quickly bring your blood sugar metabolism into balance.
