For Using Cinnamon To Control Blood Sugar- What Is The Recommended Measurement? How Strong An Effect?

I am type 1 diabetic.
I am curious about the so-called effect of cinnamon upon my body. has there been any research into body size and recommended dose and type of cinnamon. What species exactly has an effect and what amount would a doctor consider to a persons height, body weight? Is there a site with a scale of this research or is this pure hearsay that nobody can support?
Alternative medicinal experts prove it with numbers, please.

    Cinnamon probably won’t help a type one much unless you have insulin resistance. The effect is like anything else…. Synergistic, if combined with a complete package including healthy diet and exercise routine. All it does, for diabetics, is help the insulin work better. It does help lower cholesterol and triglycerides as well. I’ve been using over the counter (unknown species) cinnamon on my cereal (usually oat based with blueberries) for about a year now. A half teaspoon a day is the recommended amount regardless of your size. Swanson vitamins has a product which is supposed to have the most potent form of it. They call it cinnulin or something like that.
    You want numbers, go to the USDA website or NIH website and search there. Or you can go to my website and view my recent bloodtest where I scored a 5.8 on my A1C test. My doc wants it down to 5.2, so I’m cutting back on the carbs. Why are you all concerned about it? Even if it doesn’t help the BG, it will help any cholesterol and triglyceride issues. At the very least, it tastes good. I don’t understand your concern. Just do it and find out for yourself whether it’s right for you or not.http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type…

    A 2006 study found that cinnamon extract has a moderate effect in reducing blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. However, another study published in 2006 concluded that cinnamon supplements don’t improve blood sugar control in postmenopausal women.
