It is believed to have a positive influence on blood glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin, a key indicator for diabetes control. At Diabesmart, we understand the importance of comprehensive diabetes management, combining the expertise of doctors, nutritionists, and psychologists to support patients in achieving their health goals. There are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon and Cassia, which are differentiated by their cinnamaldehyde and coumarin contents. Cinnamaldehyde is recognized for its potential benefits in lowering glucose and improving insulin resistance, while coumarin, with its anticoagulant properties, should be consumed with caution. Studies on cinnamon and its impact on diabetes show mixed results, highlighting the need for better quality and control in research. Discrepancies in the amount of cinnamaldehyde used, the type of cinnamon, and the methodology applied limit the ability to reach definitive conclusions about its efficacy. Although some analyses suggest a slight improvement in glycated hemoglobin and fasting glucose levels, the evidence is not strong enough to recommend cinnamon as a primary treatment for diabetes. However, its moderate use may offer nutritional benefits and be a healthy alternative to sweetener, contributing to a healthier lifestyle. In summary, although cinnamon may have certain benefits for people with diabetes, it is crucial not to rely solely on it for disease control. A comprehensive approach that includes lifestyle changes, diet, physical activity, and, when necessary, medication, remains the best way to effectively manage diabetes.
