Are there any diabetic's here?

I'm curious to know if you've found any food items or herbs that you believe have helped contribute to keeping your sugars under control?

I've read that cinnamon works, is this true?

I have gestational diabetes and my sugars are out of control even though I've cut out all sweets and I need to get a handle on it before my doctor puts me in the hospital.

I am meeting with a dietician next week as I did with my first pregnancy but most of the things they tell me to eat make my sugar levels skyrocket.

I've tried insulin treatment in the past but even the lowest dose made me extremely ill so my doctor suggested we have to control my sugars with diet instead.

Thanks in advance for the answers.
