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.

Detailed description

Background: Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), often preceded by insulin resistance (IR). Food supplements, especially cinnamon, along with educational interventions, have shown positive effects on long-term diseases, such as diabetes. Aim: 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. Methods: 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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Diabetic Educational Intervention and Dietary Supplements	The structured educational intervention and dietary supplementation model was specifically designed for adult patients with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It was developed by the authors based on a review of relevant literature and aligned with the self-management efficacy philosophy. The model covered the following topics: information about DM and PDPN, diabetes complications, prevention through self-car, self-efficacy towards the management of PDPN, diabetes self-care activities include medication administration, blood glucose self-analysis, and foot care, compliance and lifestyle modification such as a healthy diet adapted to the diabetic individual, physical exercise, quitting smoking, regular follow-up, and weight control, self-efficacy towards the management of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, pain management, and information about cinnamon supplementation.
