The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cinnamon on reducing blood glucose in people who had glucose intolerance. We recruited 50 volunteers having glucose intolerance to undergo a three phase Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), supplemented with 5g placebo (control OGTT), 5g cinnamon (Cinnamon OGTT) in the second phase, and 5g cinnamon 12 hours before OGTT (OGTT 12 hours before) in the third phase. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the trial and compared between groups.
