Cinnamon (1 Tsp)

Stop or reduce cinnamon intake, especially concentrated supplements or large doses, until you can discuss the reaction with a clinician.

If you feel shaky, sweaty, dizzy, confused, or faint, check your glucose if you can and use your prescribed low-glucose treatment plan; seek urgent help for severe symptoms or inability to swallow.

Avoid taking cinnamon on an empty stomach; pair any small culinary amount with a balanced meal containing protein, fat, and fiber, such as plain Greek yogurt with nuts or eggs with vegetables.

Review diabetes medicines, insulin, and other glucose-lowering supplements with your prescriber, since cinnamon may add to their effect; do not adjust prescribed doses on your own.

Keep a log of cinnamon amount, timing, meals, medication, symptoms, and glucose readings to identify whether cinnamon is the trigger.

Arrange medical advice promptly if episodes recur, particularly if you use glucose-lowering medication, are pregnant, or have liver disease.
