Hi everyone - new member glogirl here with a question!
I take one 500mg metformin a day (in the afternoon). I have been reading about ground flaxseed and diabetes. I am not overweight, I just have a wierd system that for whatever reason does not use insulin (or possibly produce insulin) properly. Two siblings have the same problem - they are not overweight either. In fact, out of 9 siblings, we are the thinnest and the only ones that have this irregularity in our glucose! Go figure!
Question: I cannot find the answer to this on any internet site - hope you can help. Is there any bad interactions between flaxseed and metformin. The only thing I have found is that flaxseed should be taken 1 -2 hours before or after medications. Thanks everyone - and Happy, Blessed, New Year!!
