Cinnamon girl sway

Im finding the same reaction to morning coffee too - if I drink a coffee (a small shot of coffee with 100mls of milk) in the morning I tend to have low sugar in the afternoon around 5pm too. I have never been much of a coffee drinker. From what I understand, coffee can raise insulin which can temporarily raise blood glucose levels but perhaps it then causes low sugar later as you have used up more of the available glucose earlier. I wonder if that is why it sways pink?

I'm on the pcos diet, can I use a small amount of cinnamon with one meal a day? I would like to lose 10 pounds by Mid March. I do an hour of cardio a day but barely losing weight.

Yes

1/4 teaspoon from AF-O, 1/8 teaspoon from O-af, wean off gradually at BFP (I know crazy to wean off 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon but just use every other day, then every 2, then 3, till down to one per week then go to dietary amounts only) This is important, don't just drop it

Would it be okay to drink in your coffee or just best to sprinkle it on meals?

Yeah, that's normal and YES that is why it probably sways pink. It does make sugar go up but only for a bit, then it makes your levels decrease and actually overall improves your insulin response and may help to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Trust me - I've had sugar crashes from coffee and from cinnamon, and the cinnamon one was 100 times worse!! that's why I have you guys do coffee but am more sparing with cinnamon.

Whichever works for you.

I would try doing the coq10 we talked about first tho because they do the same thing, and the two together may be a very big blood sugar double whammy. I don't want anyone feeling faint when taking care of little ones

Thanks girl! Sounds good will try the coq10 first! Just trying to learn all this! Will be more helpful once I purchase my plan! Right now reading through the threads looking at some ideas and then asking you about them. :)

Just to confirm I understood correctly, we're talking about the standard Cassia cinnamon found in grocery stores?
