Research published in Diabetes Care concluded that low levels of cinnamon (1 to 6 grams per day) reduced glucose, triglycerides, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels in type 2 diabetic subjects. This study also found that cinnamon could be used by the healthy population to protect themselves from, and prevent, elevated glucose levels and blood lipid levels.

Another study published in Nutrition Research found that cinnamon extract improved fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in 66 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Around 1-3 grams (quarter to three-quarters of a teaspoon) of cinnamon per day seems a good dosage. You can sprinkle the powder on salads or flavour your recipes with it. You can also make refreshing cinnamon tea by slow boiling a three inch stick of Ceylon cinnamon in water and then letting it sit for 15 minutes before consuming.

As far as safety is concerned, people with liver diseases should be careful while consuming cinnamon. Cinnamon supplements may interact with certain medications you might be taking, such as blood thinners, antibiotics, heart medicines etc. You need to consult your doctor before starting a cinnamon supplement.
