Effects of Cinnamon, Cardamom, Saffron, and Ginger Consumption on Markers of Glycemic Control, Lipid Profile, Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation in Type 2 Diabetes Patients.
OBJECTIVES Type 2 diabetes ( T2D ) may be caused by elevated oxidative stress , inflammation , and hyperglycemia . The phytochemicals in several herbal medicines are reported to effectively improve diabetes and to ameliorate diabetic complications . The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of cinnamon , cardamom , saffron , and ginger as supplementary remedies in T2D . METHODS This r and omized controlled , clinical trial included 204 T2D patients . The participants were r and omly assigned to four intervention groups receiving 3 glasses of black tea and either 3 g cardamom , or cinnamon , or ginger , or 1 g saffron and one control group which consumed only 3 tea glasses without any herbal medicine for 8 weeks . Markers of inflammation , oxidative stress , fasting blood sugar , lipid profile , and anthropometric measures were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention . RESULTS After 8 weeks of intervention , cinnamon , cardamom , ginger , and saffron consumption had significant effects on total cholesterol , LDL , and HDL levels ( p < 0.05 ) compared with controls . However , the herbal products did not have significant effects on measures of glycemic control , anthropometry , inflammation , and oxidative stress . In within-group comparisons only , cinnamon intake significantly decreased fasting blood sugar ( FBS ) . CONCLUSIONS The herbal remedies examined had significantly beneficial effects on cholesterol , but not on measures of glycemic control , oxidative stress , and inflammation . Based on the contradictory results reported in the literature , the effects of herbal medicine in diabetic patients should undergo further detailed investigation
