Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a diabetes education intervention with cinnamon supplement on blood glucose, lipid profile, body mass index (BMI), and peripheral neuropathy pain in adults with type 2 diabetes. A quasi-experimental pretest/post-test design was employed, with data collected from March to August 2022 at endocrinology clinics at the Ministry of Health Clinics in Jordan. The study included 62 adults with PDPN, who were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. Data were collected at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months using clinical and biochemical assessments and the Numeric Rating Scale for pain.
