Effect of cinnamon supplementation on glucose, lipids levels, glomerular filtration rate, and blood pressure of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus
A r and omized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial was performed to investigate the effect of cinnamon supplementation on glucose , triglyceride ( TG ) , and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C ) levels , TG/HDL-C ratio , blood pressure ( BP ) , and estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR ) for ninety-nine type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) patients . Forty nine ( 49 ) patients with T2DM were in the cinnamon group whereas 50 were in the placebo group . All participants received either a cinnamon or placebo capsule daily for the 60-day study period . At the end of the study , median glucose , TG , TG/HDL-C ratio , and BP were significantly decreased ( p < 0.005 ) whereas HDL-C and eGFR levels were significantly increased ( p < 0.005 ) in the cinnamon supplementation group . Interestingly , the study also revealed reduction of HbA1c levels after the 60-day study period . In the placebo  group , glucose , TG levels tended to increase and HDL-C levels tended to decrease whereas systolic and diastolic BP , HbA1c , and BUN CT were significantly increased and eGFR was significantly reduced ( p < 0.005 ) . Cinnamon supplementation  reduced plasma glucose , HbA1c , triglyceride , TG/HDL-C ratio , and BP and increased HDL-C levels and eGFR in subjects with T2DM . Cinnamon supplementation may be beneficial for those with T2DM to prevent and control diabetic complications
