In November 2013, a study related to gestational diabetes appeared in The Endocrine Society’s publication, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. It was titled Diabetes and Pregnancy: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline. Upon its release, obstetricians undoubtedly started to question how they’ve been treating diabetic and pre-diabetic pregnant women for years. The study was actually designed to come up with best practices that physicians could use to treat diabetic women of child bearing age.

The study was conducted by representatives of California’s Western University of Health Sciences. What the California researchers’ work revealed may startle you. The study involved 543 individuals with a pre-existing type 2 diabetes diagnosis and the results of less than a dozen randomized control trials (RCTs). The California researchers’ goal in gathering the previously mentioned data was to determine whether not the consumption of cinnamon would have a noticeable impact on the test subjects’ lipid and glycemia levels. Based on the results of their work, the spice is capable of altering several aspects of a type 2 diabetic’s health. For example, it did lower cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose levels in some people. However, it did not seem to impact the type 2 diabetic test subject’s hemoglobin levels. In addition to presenting their findings, the California based researchers urged type…
