Unsweetened cinnamon tea
A small piece of cinnamon simmered in water makes one unsweetened cup. It does not replace diabetes medicine, doses must not be changed, and it is not a blood-sugar treatment.
Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.
A small unsweetened cinnamon cup
Cinnamon bark smells warm, and a short tea of one small piece is easy to overdo. This cup stays plain: no sugar, no honey, and no second stick for a stronger brew. It is something to sip beside the day you already have, not a new treatment.
Unsweetened cinnamon tea does not replace diabetes medicine, and it is not a reason to change a dose. It is not a blood-sugar treatment. A large amount of cinnamon, especially every day for weeks, is not this recipe. Stop if the cup gives you heartburn or a rash.
