Brief Summary: The overall goal of this proposal is to establish the efficacy of cinnamon for the treatment of T2DM Additional aims will assess the effect of cinnamon on cardiovascular risk factors and explore novel potential mechanisms of action leading to improved insulin sensitivity Based on previously published animal and human data we have hypothesized that six months treatment with Cinnamon cassia supplementation 225 gramsday will improve glycemic control and cardio-metabolic risk factors We believe these benefits may be mediated in part through improved insulin mediated capillary recruitment and skeletal muscle vasodilators leading to reduced insulin resistance We will achieve our goal through completion of the following aims

Aim 1 To demonstrate the efficacy safety and tolerability of oral cinnamon use 750 mg three times daily to improve glucose control The primary outcome will be determined as a reduction in hemglobin A1c HbA1c level of at least 05 compared to placebo

Aim 2 To quantify effects of oral cinnamon vs placebo on cardio-metabolic risk factors including fasting levels of plasma insulin and glucose homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance HOMA-IR lipids total VLDL LDL HDL cholesterol triglyceride free fatty acids as well whole body abdominal and visceral adiposity as measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry DEXA imaging

Aim 3 In this mechanistic exploratory aim potential gastrointesitnal effects will be assessed as follows a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test OGTT with blood samples collected for insulin glucose C-peptide glucagon GLP-1 and GIP will be performed separately Additional biochemical markers ghrelin PYY pro-insulin apo B adinopectin will be collected as well
Detailed Description: Experimental Design

This Phase 2 study will be done prospectively and will be conducted in two stages The initial stage will be the general study and the second stage will be the sub-study We plan to screen up to 1000 subjects Our enrollment goal is 250 subjects total with 50 subjects enrolled in the sub-study and 200 subjects enrolled in the general study

Adults will be screened from Oregon Health Science University clinics cardiology internal medicine endocrinology obstetrics and gynecology family practice through Epic-based database searches and research flyer distribution At OHSU the Research Data Warehouse RDW will be used to identify potential subjects and recruitment letters will be sent out Additional advertisement will be conducted through March Wellness and the medical exercise program Further outreach advertising will be done through the Oregon Association of Naturopathic Physicians OANP website and the Naturopathic Doctor News Reviews NDNR newsletter

We will not include any vulnerable populations We will not recruit prisoners children neonates andor adults lacking capacity

In the event of a screen failure the data collected in screening will be retained to avoid future re-contacting for recruitment for this study The data will be handled in a confidential manner until destroyed at the end of enrollment
