Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic illness that poses a serious threat to public health. The primary global the cause of morbidity and mortality is the rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Reducing secondary complications and regulating glycaemia control are the primary objectives of therapy. To combat this, many seek diets that can both treat and prevent the disease. The study aims to review the antidiabetic effect on cinnamon supplementation. Several plant-based sources are shown to have anti-diabetic properties. The objective of the study is to determine that, including cinnamon daily can lower glycaemia index in individuals. In this study, 10 articles have been referred from which the preferable way of cinnamon supplementation is determined. Plants contain countless biologically active compounds. Every food has unique health benefits, similarly cinnamon contains polyphenol compounds which help in regulating T2DM. It belongs to the Lauraceae family and cinnamomum genus, which includes more than 30 genera and roughly 2000–2500 species. Cinnamon grows up to 20 to 30 feet in height. Its leaves are lighter green on the underside and dark green on the top. The fruit of the cinnamon tree is fragrant, pulpy, and black, with a tiny golden bloom. The oldest spice, cinnamon has been utilized for ages in various cultural traditions. Apart from its culinary applications, it’s becoming more and more well-liked because of its numerous claimed health advantages. Among the many cinnamon species that are known to exist, Cinnamomum aromaticum (Cassia) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum have undergone substantial study. Evidence from both in vitro and in vivo studies suggests that cinnamon may offer a variety of health advantages, primarily about its anti-diabetic property as it contains cinnamaldehyde which helps regulate blood glucose level. Additionally, it is said that cinnamon's anti-microbial, anti-fungal, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-tumor, blood pressure-lowering, cholesterol and lipid-lowering, and gastro-protective qualities contribute to its medicinal potential. Therefore, we can conclude that consuming cinnamon 6g daily as tea helps in T2DM, by reducing hyperglycemia due to increased glucose uptake in adipocytes and skeletal muscles. Consequently, cinnamon can be added to the current T2DM treatment as an adjuvant to help patients with better glucose control and a lower risk of developing secondary problems.
