Improving Insulin Resistance in Gynecological Cancer Patients Post Treatment Using Integrative and Functional Food Plan With or Without Cinnamon Supplementation

To determine whether the addition of cinnamon to the implementation of an integrative and functional (IF) food plan will show a difference of 10 mg% in the mean glucose concentration measured when comparing the baseline and 24 week Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) glucose levels.

To determine whether the addition of cinnamon to the implementation of an IF food plan will improve BMI more than just dietary intervention alone. BMI will be calculated by dividing the participant's weight by her height squared.

To determine whether the addition of cinnamon to the implementation of an IF food plan will improve the ratio of fat mass to fat free mass more than just dietary intervention alone. We will measure using a Fit3D scanner that uses infrared cameras to estimate fat mass and fat free mass.

To determine whether the addition of cinnamon to the implementation of an IF food plan will improve glucose tolerance levels more than just dietary intervention alone. It will be measured using the results of the baseline and final 2-hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test which measures glucose and insulin at 4 time points.

The changes in insulin resistance parameters in overweight patients with PCOS between baseline and after 6 months of daily cinnamon compared to the corresponding change in patients receiving 6 months of placebo. Higher values of insulin resistance represent a worse outcome. A higher value Homeostasis Model of Insulin Resistance indicates more insulin resistance so higher values are worse outcomes (a score of >2 is considered healthy for adults with scores >5 being considered severe insulin resistance). For the Quant. Insulin Sensitivity Check Index, a lower value indicates more insulin resistance so lower values are worse outcomes (values can range from .45, which is considered normal in health individuals and .30, which is characteristic of diabetes).

Change in Insulin Resistance

Change in Glucose Response - area under the curve (AUC), trapezoidal method - in overweight patients with PCOS between baseline and after 6 months of daily cinnamon compared to the corresponding change in patient receiving 6 months of placebo. Fasting blood samples were drawn followed by a 2 hour glucose tolerance test with blood draws at 30, 60, and 120min post glucose ingestion.
