Use in Diabetes
Cinnamon may reduce the rate at which your stomach empties after you eat, slowing the rise in blood sugar that follows a meal. It may also stimulate insulin receptors, helping the hormone move glucose into cells more effectively. Taking cinnamon daily may help patients who have type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range. A paper in "The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine," published in 2009, reported on a clinical trial in which subjects with diabetes took either cinnamon or placebo for 90 days. Those taking cinnamon had lower levels of hemoglobin A1C, a measure of average blood glucose levels, than those who took the placebo.
