Dietary cinnamon supplementation and changes in systolic blood pressure in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Experimental and some clinical evidence suggests that ingestion of cinnamon may improve metabolic measures in individuals with diabetes ; however , few human studies have been design ed to examine this association as their primary objective . In this study adult subjects 30 years of age or older with type 2 diabetes were r and omized to treatment with 1,200 mg/day cinnamon or matched placebo . Blood pressure , hemoglobin A1c , fasting blood glucose , lipid profile , physical examination , and blood and urine chemistry were measured at baseline and at the 12-week follow-up end-of-treatment visit . In total , 59 subjects ( 40.7 % female ; mean age , 63.05±10.85 years ) were recruited . Systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) declined from baseline values by 3.4±11.4 mm Hg in the cinnamon group and increased by 1.9±10.2 mm Hg in the placebo group ( P=.06 ) . In repeated- measures analysis , a significant by-treatment difference over time was detected ( P=.02 ) . However , when baseline SBP was included in the model as a covariate , change from baseline SBP was no longer associated with treatment . Although cinnamon added to the diets of spontaneously hypertensive rats has been shown to decrease SBP in a dose-dependent manner , results of the present study in humans suggest that the by-treatment difference in change-from-baseline SBP was a function of regression to the mean rather than a treatment-associated change
