Do you take medication? If I ate like you I'd be over 200 A LOT. My goal is to always be in the 70-120 range.
I'm type 2. Yes, I test frequently. I'm generally between 85-120. Before I started the cinnamon I was always in the 140-160 range. I am on 2 oral meds but if things look good on my next visit, I should be able to go off 1 of them and cut back the other. I was able to stop taking BP meds after I lost the first "bunch o' pounds."

BTW, my mother is also diabetic. She sought her doctor's advice about the cinnamon and when the dr said okay, mom went from 4 shots a day, glucophage, and avandia to 2 shots a day and no oral meds. It does not work for everyone from what both mom's doc and mine said.

Your mileage may vary.
