Cinnamon and Type 2 Diabetics

The Effect of Cinnamon on Type 2 Diabetes”For long, cinnamon has been a common spice in cooking and baking. Researchers have found that cinnamon is not only delicious, it is also healthy. According to the diabetes association in the United States, approximately twenty one million people in the U.S. have diabetes, with around 90% having type 2 diabetes. The main fuel source in the body cells is sugar, in glucose form. Insulin is a hormone that allows glucose to enter the body cells. For individuals with type 2 diabetes, either the cells are resistant to insulin or the body does not produce enough insulin. This results in glucose building up in the blood and it does not enter the cells thus causing the cells to lack energy (Khan et al.)
