| But when Dutch researchers gave 13 women with diabetes 1 1/2 grams of ground cinnamon (3/4 teaspoon) every day for six weeks, they did no better on an oral glucose tolerance test than similar women who were given a placebo. Two studies used the WHO diabetes definition based on oral glucose tolerance tests and/or self-reported medication to define diabetes, whereas the other studies used death certificates, medical or insurance records, urine tests for glucosuria, self-reported diabetes symptoms such as polyuria confirmed by two positive urine tests and a positive oral glucose tolerance test, glycosylated hemoglobin, or self-reported diagnosis. However, a fasting measurement or oral glucose tolerance test gives more precise information. |
