How Cinnamon Seems to Help a Diabetic with their Diabetes Condition
Arland Kent
A startling connection was made lately between the use of cinnamon and
the ability to prevent some of the diabetes symptoms. Cinnamon, used
for a long time as a spice that assists with energy, this is a cheap
form of help for the control of diabetes. With the sourced funding from
the Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation, Dr. Richard
Anderson enable the study on the possible cinnamon effects on diabetes
At the United States Department Of Agriculture's Human Nutrition
Research Center. He was able to isolate the sourced compound in
cinnamon that is a responsible for a portion of the superb effects that
this substance has on diabetes.
This compound partially composed of specific type A. polymers, was
found to lower the blood sugar effectively in those that have diabetes.
On top of that, it was found at these polymers decreased the diabetic
patients total cholesterol by up to 26%. Lipoproteins with a lower
density are known to be a bad type of cholesterol. These were lowered
by 10 to 24% through the intake of these polymers, and triglycerides
showed a decrease by 23 to 30%.
Major importance should be given to this research by those that have
this diabetes condition. Also possibly of more importance regarding
this find are the effects that this substance can have on practically
millions of people who have been found to have prediabetes. This could
possibly help delay the diabetes onset, and give those potential future
diabetics time to learn about how to keep it from taking control over
their health.
These cinnamon polymers have been found to assist diabetics and two
important ways; firstly, the substance was seen to make the enzymes
that may hold the responsibility for decreasing the effects of insulin
resistance. This could be of paramount importance for those with this
condition which frequently has been caused by insulin resistance
problem. Secondly, when diabetics ingest this compound substance, they
were found to have increased sensitivity to insulin within their body.
This basely helped them more effectively distribute the insulin. Now,
the polymers found as a result of the study have been extracted and
clinically available to patients. The substance has been patented as a
compound known as Cinnulin PF. The only approved version for use is a
water-soluble extract of this compound.
The substance should not be hard to find sense there are many different
supplements that contain this. Another thing to note would be that it
is important that a person with diabetes absolutely should not ingest
high levels of normal cinnamon to try to get these effects. When
ingesting high levels of cinnamon, it has been found that it is toxic
due to a fat soluble component it holds. If there is the chance that
you are unable to purchase one of these supplements that contains the
substance, you should only ingest a quarter to a full teaspoon of
cinnamon in order to help your diabetes condition. It is also necessary
to inform your doctor of this and any other supplements or medications
that you take in order to help diabetes. It is helpful to know that the
supplement to be added to various drinks including tea or milkshakes to
make it more tolerable. Don't think that you might want to eat apple
pie because it has cinnamon in it. Apple pie or foods like it probably
should be avoided for the most part because of the fat and sugar
content.
