With a number of patients diabetes medication taken on an empty stomach may cause stomach discomfort. Have you spoken with your doctor about this? It could be unrelated to diabetes yet related to an ulcer, an intestinal tract infection, gall bladder stone, pancreas issues, etc.
As far as cinnamon helping to lower glucose levels, the answer is no. Returns from the past 5-7 years of various studies/research and clinical trials concluded cinnamon does not lower glucose levels. It does, however, provide other powerful antioxidant properties. If you ingest honey be sure to test 2-3 hours later. Honey in some diabetics has the same reaction as refined sugar - jacks up the glucose level.

Cinnamon with honey helps.Also do the mandukasan - good for diabetes and stomach problems. Kapalbhati and anulom vilom pranayam will help to build up the immune system.
For stomach problems : mandukasan(not for pregnant women) - kneel down(with feet pointing inwards,and sit on the ankles/heels, Vajrasan position), breathe in and breathe out completely and hold your breath, pull the stomach in, press the left hand on your navel, and then put the right hand on top of the left hand, bend forward as much as possible keeping the head straight, hold for 5 to 15 seconds and come back up while breathing in.Do this asan 3 times daily before meals.Mandukasan2 - Repeat the whole process(mandukasan) 3 times,but this time with with fists of both hands pressing against the stomach(by the navel).Mandukasan can be done sitting on a chair, if you cannot bend the legs.This asan should be done before meals.
