A doctor, expert in the treatment/control of Diabetes advised me to continue my sport but with an improved diet plan. My diet plan is based mostly on strictly natural food. For high endurance events, he recommended Chia seeds for a steady release of energy to the body along with maintaining electrolyte levels too. I found his advise worthwhile and was regular in the intake for 3 years and it helped a lot in keeping my sugar level under control. But the area where I have shifted now does not have any shop selling Chia seeds here. I searched a lot about their source in my area and on the internet. The results included
vitalyte, a gel made from Chia seeds. Is it safe/natural?
Do you know about any such other approved product that is safe for diabetics? Any help would be highly appreciated.
