Abstract in brief

  • Cinnamon has been shown in recent studies to significantly reduce fasting blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, while increasing good HDL cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes.
  • However, cinnamon does not appear to significantly change long-term blood sugar control measured by hemoglobin A1c.
  • The results are complicated by high variability between studies, which suggests that more consistent research is needed to confirm these benefits.

A review of 10 studies found that consuming as little as 120 mg of #cinnamon — less than a 1/10 teaspoon — each day may be sufficient to help you reap the benefits of higher HDL (good) #cholesterol. https://t.co/97kUEtlWdm #healthy #inflammation https://t.co/CWkFN3qRHh

@DaveDixonPharmD We did a meta-analysis on cinnamon for T2DM control some years back. Works OK on FBG, no change in A1c. https://t.co/0AxcNTEc8U

#Cinnamon Cinnamon helps decrease in levels of blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglyceride levels. Just drinking a simple cup of infused tea can support in type II diabetes. Consulting a qualified medical herbalist can help. (Ref: DOI: 10.1370/afm.1517) https://t.co/EGj9NgHBwj

@heidithewiz @MSW_researcher @Hankloves26tee9 @HeyNurseKat @ccVolpone @TheAmirImani I'll provide a few, though I am sure you will disregard. https://t.co/jqOVnuOHiF https://t.co/CpJnTvVtLz https://t.co/5I2z2jYSCl These are on cinnamon alone. Yes I realize somewhat inconclusive.

@kendallybrown Roasted brussel sprouts or asparagus with garlic. Add nuts or bacon (protein) to your stuffing and use a high fiber bread. Potatoes are hell on diabetes so small batch the mashed potatoes. Lay on the cinnamon: https://t.co/8PMSLNZ2TE
