Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of cinnamon on serum glucose and lipid levels in people with non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Forty people with non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus will be randomized to receive either cinnamon or placebo for three months. The dose of cinnamon will be one gram daily. Fasting serum glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and insulin levels will be measured at baseline and at 1, 2, and 3 months. HbA1c levels will be measured at baseline and at 3 months. Patients will be monitored for compliance, adverse effects, and dietary changes.
