We know that there are numerous solutions for Type 2 diabetes, such as alteration diet and exercising, but what about Type 1 diabetes? In the latest of the studies on Type 1 diabetes solutions, researchers found that a compound in flax seed has a wide range of benefits in animals with type 1 diabetes. Among those benefits were an improved utilization of glucose in the liver, normalized glucose forming activity in the liver and muscle tissues, and “reduced pancreatic and intestinal glucosidase inhibitory activity, which translates into lower post-meal blood sugar elevations.”

In someone with type 1 diabetes, these cells are either destroyed or impaired to the point of failure. The research was published in the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology.
