Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, synonym C. verum) is a small evergreen tree 10-15 m tall, belonging to the family Lauraceae, and a spice obtained from the inner bark of this species. It is native to Sri Lanka. The leaves are ovate-oblong in shape, 7-18 cm long. The flowers, which are arranged in panicles, have a greenish colour and a rather disagreeable odour. The fruit is a purple 1 cm berry containing a single seed.

I'm not sure what your question is. Cinnamon is a spice. It can help lower blood sugar so it's a good thing for a diabetic to eat.
The name cinnamon comes from Greek kinnámōmon, from Phoenician and akin to Hebrew qinnâmôn, itself ultimately from a Malaysian language, cf. Malay and Indonesian kayu manis "sweet wood".

Cinnamon is a spice, but I see you are under the heading diabetes. Cinnamon is popular with diabetics because it will curb the urge for sugar when added to something else. For example, in coffee or tea, on toast or a bagel, on cake instead of frosting, etc.
