Influence of Cinnamon on Glycemic Control in Individuals With Prediabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Context

The identification of adjunct safe, durable, and cost-effective approaches to reduce the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a clinically relevant, unmet goal. It is unknown whether cinnamon's glucose-lowering properties can be leveraged in individuals with prediabetes.

Objective

The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of cinnamon on measures of glucose homeostasis in prediabetes.

Design setting participants and intervention

This double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial randomly assigned adult individuals meeting any criteria for prediabetes to receive cinnamon 500 mg or placebo thrice daily (n = 27/group). Participants were enrolled and followed at 2 academic centers for 12 weeks.
