Cinnamon is one of the aromatic spices taken from the bark of cinnamon trees. It improves blood sugar control in the pre-diabetes stage and can slow the disease’s effect on the body.
The study was conducted on 51 participants between 20 and 70 people who had one of 3 specific glucose problems during fasting.
The study participants were subjected to 12-week observation, and were distributed among the University Medical Center "Kyung Hee" In Seoul, South Korea, and the Jocelyn Diabetes Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
The researchers gave a capsule containing 500 mg of cinnamon supplements to a group of participants, while others took a placebo, 3 times a day for 12 weeks.
The researchers found that cinnamon supplements lowered levels Glucose Abnormal during fasting, improved the body’s response to a carbohydrate meal.
The study, conducted between 2017 and 2018, revealed that there were no harmful side effects of cinnamon, and it was established that its supplementation reduced the risk of developing diabetes.
The author of the study, Dr. Julio Romeo from the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, said: "Our 12-week study demonstrated beneficial effects of adding cinnamon to the diet to maintain stable blood sugar levels in diabetic participants.".
He added that "Determining safe, permanent and cost-effective ways to limit progression from pre-diabetes to type II disease, a clinical goal and further studies are needed to verify it".
Romeo continued: "Longer and larger studies should address the effects of cinnamon on the rate of progression from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes".
Nearly 90 million people in the U.S. alone and at least 7 million in the UK suffer from diabetes, which occurs when levels of Blood sugar Higher than usual.
