Brief Answer:
Anti–Diabetic Activity of Cinnamon

Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

It has been medically proven that cinnamon has a strong anti diabetic effect.
It improves signs and symptoms of diabetes,regulates and reduce blood glucose levels and cholesterol levels significantly.
It exerts these effects by improving insulin sensitivity (and decreasing insulin resistance) and slowing the absorption of carbs in the gut.

You can very well take it with your other Oral hypoglycemics and alpha Lipoic Acids as it has hardly any significant interaction with them.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
