Abstract Synopsis

  • This study investigated whether adding cinnamon spice to the diet can help regulate blood sugar levels in adults with obesity and prediabetes over a 4-week period.
  • Results showed that cinnamon significantly lowered 24-hour blood glucose levels, reduced glucose peaks after eating, and decreased overall glucose exposure compared to a placebo.
  • The findings suggest that cinnamon could be an effective and practical way to improve glycemic control in people at risk for diabetes.
