The type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease and it is a highly prevalent globally. Cinnamon is a spicy used on the traditional cuisine, which have as been associated with beneficial effects on postprandial blood glucose levels (BGL). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of cinnamon tea (6g C. burmannii/100mL) on postprandial glycaemia in type 2 diabetic adults. Following ethical committee approval, thirty-six subjects were selected and randomly allocated in 2 groups (n=18): cinnamon group, which was administrated OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) followed by cinnamon tea; control group, which was administrated only OGTT. At baseline, anthropometric data, medical condition and pharmacological therapy were collected. A 24-hour dietary recall was taken preceding each intervention. Food Processor SQL (version 10.5.9) program was used to analyze the food nutritional composition. Chemical analysis was performed for total phenols determinations (adapted from Prabha et al) and antioxidant activity for FRAP and for DPPH tests (adapted from K. Thaipong et al.) Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics program. Data are mean±SEM.
