Studies have found that cinnamon can decrease the amount of sugar that enters people's bloodstream after meals, doing so by interfering with numerous digestive enzymes, which slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in people's digestive tracts.
A compound in cinnamon can also mimic the effects of insulin to improve the uptake of sugar into the cells.
Furthermore, cinnamon can help reduce insulin resistance, a hallmark for people struggling with Type 2 diabetes. Reducing insulin resistance and improving sensitivity to insulin is essential, as insulin is one of the key hormones for regulating metabolism and energy use.
