In adults 65 years and older diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, how effective are the use of dietary supplements, such as cinnamon, compared to medication alone, such as insulin therapy/oral hypoglycemics, in the prevention of diabetic complications within a one-year period?
PICOT TABLE
P Adults 65 years and older diagnosed with diabetes mellitus Age is one of the most important risk factors for type 2 diabetes with individuals in older age groups assuming a high burden of disease.
Selvin and Parrinello (2013) stated that in the US, adults aged 65 or older had 20% prevalence of diabetes in 2011 versus the 2.4% disease prevalence found mong adults 18 to 44 years of age.
I Dietary supplements like cinnamon It is believed that dietary supplements like cinnamon help patients to control blood glucose. Hasanzade et al. (2013) stated that traditional herbs and spices such as Ròu Guì and Cinnamomum cassia are commonly used for control of glucose.[Order Now]
They also stated that cinnamon was the most bioactive among spices such as mint, green tea, and carnation.

C Insulin/Oral hypoglycemic medications
Insulin and/or oral glycemic medications are universally used to treat and manage diabetes due to their ability to control blood sugar levels.[Order Now]
Insulin offers a unique ability to control hyperglycemia when used from the time of diagnosis and when metabolic control is disturbed by medical illness, procedures, or therapy, as well as in the longer term (Home et al., 2014).
Prevention of diabetic complications the ultimate goal of diabetes management is prevention of long-term complications. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to a number of short and long-term health complications, including hypoglycemia, heart disease, nerve damage, limb amputation, and vision problems.
According to Vinik & Vinik (2003), chronic complications can be devastating to patients with diabetes mellitus. The major cause of morbidity and mortality among these patients are complications such as cardiovascular illness, macrovascular disease, and microvascular disease, with retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy.
T Within a one-year period There is no set time frame for diabetic complications to occur. It all depends on how uncontrolled the management has been. The duration of diabetes and the degree of glycemic control achieved are noted to be risk factors for complications (Nickerson & Dutta, 2012).
