| Description: | This narrative review aims to investigate how gut microbiota contributes to type 2 diabetes and how cinnamon may help regulate it. It draws attention to their combined effects on metabolic health and glycemic management. Cinnamon possesses properties that enhance insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes, and also plays a vital role in managing gut bacteria composition. The encouraging data limits researchers’ ability to make reliable judgments due to study design inconsistencies and missing standardized procedures. Although cinnamon shows promise in modulating gut microbiota and glycemic control, its therapeutic potential remains inconclusive. More comprehensive, well-designed clinical trials are essential to establish both the safety and efficacy of cinnamon supplementation in the context of Type 2 diabetes. Research into cinnamon’s impact on gut bacteria may improve its application as an additional treatment option. Future diabetic treatment plans may include cinnamon as a personalized therapeutic option. Through its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative characteristics, cinnamon maintains gut microbiota stability and aids in type 2 diabetes management. Cinnamon influences the production of short-chain fatty acids and regulates the brain axis, which leads to homeostasis management. A more comprehensive approach is required to understand cinnamon’s mechanism for the control of type 2 diabetes. |
