Effectiveness of Cinnamon for Lowering Hemoglobin A1C in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Purpose : Multiple trials in the past have shown conflicting results of whether cinnamon lowers glucose or hemoglobin A1C ( HbA1C ) . The purpose of this study was to determine whether cinnamon lowers HbA1C in patients with type 2 diabetes . I performed a r and omized , controlled trial to evaluate whether daily cinnamon plus usual care versus usual care alone lowers HbA1c . Methods : I r and omized 109 type 2 diabetics ( HbA1C > 7.0 ) from 3 primary care clinics caring for pediatric , adult , and geriatric patients at a United States military base . Participants were r and omly allocated to either usual care with management changes by their primary care physician or usual care with management changes plus cinnamon capsules , 1 g daily for 90 days . HbA1c was drawn at baseline and 90 days and compared with intention-to-treat analysis . This study was approved by an institutional review board . Results : Cinnamon  lowered HbA1C 0.83 % ( 95 % CI , 0.46–1.20 ) compared with usual care alone lowering HbA1C 0.37 % ( 95 % CI , 0.15–0.59 ) . Conclusions : Taking cinnamon could be useful for lowering serum HbA1C in type 2 diabetics with HbA1C > 7.0 in addition to usual care
