Has anybody had success with using cinnamon supplements? I have read many articles on this and several people said the use a lower dose of metformin in combination with the cinnamon supplements.

I was having a lot of nausea and intestinal issues, we are going to try to increase the doses more slowly this time and I am only starting at 500 mg a day. I am taking the extended release, but it is not a capsule form, it is the generic.

I have not personally but a friend of mine takes them for her PCOS, the cinnamon supplement tablets. She swears that they are helping her blood sugars. She has lowered her Met she takes. So it must do something good for her at least.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
