Cinnamon helps some control their numbers, so they say, it seems to work for some, not for others. I tried it in the beginning and my numbers ran the same whether I took it for a month or not. depends on the person.

your fasting numbers could be the dawn effect and sometimes that is like beating a dead horse, it just happens from the body's reaction overnight to the changing blood sugars.

You can try to eat a protein snack at night and see if that helps, it does with me (greek yogurt or peanut butte even)

I would be delighted to have your numbers. I am struggling with a bout of uncontrolled sugars. Cinnamon never workd for me, neither chromium picolinate.
