By Super Admin

Research has proved that, that Type 2 Diabetes is the most common type of Diabetes among people as they age. The basic characteristic of Type 2 Diabetes is when the body's insulin system stars deteriorating, a hormone which helps use sugar from the food for energy. When insulin does not work properly, then the sugar level of the body increases, leading to high concentration of blood sugar. The basic symptoms are fatigue, blur vision and delayed healing of the injuries.

Type 2 Diabetes treatment depends a lot on diet. According to several researchers, Diabetes treatment can be done with cinnamon consumption. One of the research from the several others is by Richard Anderson. According to his research, cinnamon has insulin like effect in the body. Cinnamon is a good diabetes treatment as it contains antioxidants called polyphenols, which helps in enhancing the levels of three proteins. These proteins are those which trigger the functioning of insulin, glucose transport and inflammatory responses.

To prove the study that cinnamon treats Diabetes, Anderson experimented on Type 2 Diabetes patients. The patients were given a high dose of cinnamon for 40 days. Improvement in the insulin level was noticed after 20 days. On the completion of twenty days, the dosage was stopped and after a few days the insulin levels were seen deteriorating again. Thus, proving that cinnamon can be a treatment for Diabetes, specially Type 2 Diabetes.
