Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this study was to determine whether cinnamon improves blood
glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and LDL
cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:
A total of 60 people with type 2 diabetes, 30 men and 30 women aged 52.2 +/-
6.32 years, were divided randomly into six groups. Groups 1, 2, and 3
consumed 1, 3, or 6 g of cinnamon daily, respectively, and groups 4, 5, and
6 were given placebo capsules corresponding to the number of capsules
consumed for the three levels of cinnamon. The cinnamon was consumed for 40
days followed by a 20-day washout period.
RESULTS:
After 40 days, all three levels of cinnamon reduced the mean fasting serum
glucose (18-29%), triglyceride (23-30%), LDL cholesterol (7-27%), and total
cholesterol (12-26%) levels; no significant changes were noted in the
placebo groups. Changes in HDL cholesterol were not significant.
CONCLUSIONS:
The results of this study demonstrate that intake of 1, 3, or 6 g of
cinnamon per day reduces serum glucose, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and
total cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes and suggest that the
inclusion of cinnamon in the diet of people with type 2 diabetes will reduce
risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
