Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
It does not matter whether you take the cinnamon around the same time as metformin. So feel free to take it, if you have to, at any time you please, regardless of when you have taken your metformin pills.

Taking cinnamon around the same time has no bearing on the effect of the metformin on the pre diabetic condition
