A new trick.

I keep digging to find something that might help with the insulin numbers.  Care has to be given.  One doctor, for example, suggested nine servings of blended vegetable juices a day.  I don't know what sort of vegetables he was advising, I clicked that off when I realized his gig.  Vegetables are murder, for the most part.  Some leafy greens, if those even only occasionally, in small amounts.  But nine servings a day?  Even the best, lowest carb, veggies I have seen would be murder to my insulin numbers.  There have been many bits of advice.  Some of it is just either outright not workable, as with the veggie smoothies, or simply too complex or dubious for other reasons.  Cinnamon, however, is something I am hearing often.  As much as two tablespoons per day?

I don't know about that much.  Especially since I don't eat every day.  That would be a lot to add to tea.  Even if I brought cream back into the diet, that is a massive dose of cinnamon.  Split over two cream teas a day?  Only if I was heavy with the cream and keep the actual tea volume to half a gallon as well.  I certainly wouldn't want two tablespoons of cinnamon in, what would essentially be, every single meal I eat.  That just isn't possible.  I would revolt, and quickly.  Oh, I like cinnamon well enough.  Just not that well.  Still, I may attempt to add something, say half that, per day.  Any movement on the dial indicating improvement, let it go and see where it ends up.  I am not sure how sustainable that is.  That is a lot of cinnamon, even at that amount.  And, yet, I seem stuck.  I would rather try a few more tricks, more strict food control, and giving those some time to cutting another day into the long fasting cycle.

Oh, and if someone is trying to sell you magic cinnamon that works while other, "just regular", cinnamon won't?  Caveat Emptor.  You heard it here... I hope not first.  But if so, all good.  Idjit.

I would love to add exercise, just walking for now.  I think that might really help.  I just don't have that option open to me quite yet.  Patience.  It's the trick of all true tricks, even if it is the absence of said at times.  Yeah, contrarian, but not just for stylism.  Later.
