One group was a controlled group and the other groups were given one, three, or six grams of Cinnamon diabetes powder in capsules a day after meals. Within weeks they all responded with blood sugar levels that were on average 20% lower that a control group. Some even achieved a normal blood sugar levels.

The pancreas is an abdominal organ that produces digestive enzymes for the metabolism of food. Due to illness or trauma, occasionally the pancreas either produces less insulin or none at all and the body becomes inefficient in dealing with high volumes of glucose in the blood. This can result in diabetes mellitus

Not only human who can suffer from the diabetes, animals are also can suffer from this disease especially dogs. It happens most common in middle aged to older dogs although it can occur in younger animals. The treatment consists in replenishment of the body’s supplies of insulin this form of

the disease is otherwise known as Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) (Type II diabetes mellitus).

Canine diabetes to the dog will have a little effect to the dog and will make a quality of life to the dog if the diabetes managed properly. Canine diabetes can be controlled with either daily insulin injection or oral diabetic medication.

The symptoms of IDDM that appear to your dog are a vastly increased level of thirst and urination levels, and an enormous increase in appetite. This is because he’s trying to take in enough calories to make up for the deficit in available energy as glucose is not being converted as energy. If the symptoms are not picked up your dog will grow listless.

If the insulin are not taken up in a long period it will make a high level of ketones which can result in a scent of sweet peardrops on his breath. This is a dangerous signal and is indicative of ketoacidosis which raises the pH level of the blood and this can cause serious damage within your dog’s body.

The diagnosis of canine diabetes will include testing of his blood or urine for glucose in the morning, and giving him the appropriate insulin dosage for that reading. Approximately five minutes after your dog receives his insulin dosage, he can be given his morning meal. Afterward, you will need to feed your dog when his blood glucose levels are low, and again this will require you to test his blood or urine to settle on insulin levels present
