Cinnamon is available powdered from most food stores or as capsules from health food stores. Keep cinnamon in a tightly sealed container in the dark. It may be added liberally to food at meals or consumed as a supplement. Cinnamon is generally considered safe, although a recommended dose has not been established. Use cinnamon with caution if you take blood thinners or medication to lower blood glucose, as it may interact with these medicines.
While a small banana would contain about 12 grams of sugar, a medium one would contain around 14 grams, a large one would contain about 17 grams, and an extra large banana would contain about 19 grams of sugar. But this does not mean that diabetics cannot eat bananas.
A medium banana contains about 27 grams of total carbohydrate, of which just over 3 are contributed by fiber, 14 by sugars, and 6 by starch. This starchâknown as âresistantâ starchâis believed to be a major reason the banana is good for people with blood sugar and weight concerns.
