Chia Seeds

[reddevil60]

Does anyone have any experience of using the new Chia Seeds which is said to lower blood sugars and other things such as giving you extra energy?

I've purchased a bag but am very reluctant to use them as I've been advised by my diabetic nurse to check with the doctor before using them.

Can anyone throw any light on how good they are or any side effect they may produce?

Thanks

Only one way to find out...

I've used chia seeds in a low carb porridge mix, and had no problem with them. I did read that they are the latest miracle food. All I can tell you is they are tasty in my porridge

Are you taking insulin and metformin as I don't want the seeds to interact with my meds?

Cheers
