May I take SylliFlor if have diabetes?

 

One dose of SylliFlor contains such a small amount of carbohydrates (sugar and maltodextrin) that it does not affect the blood sugar. If you wish to eliminate sugar from your diet, we suggest you take SylliFlor Plain.

Diabetics are recommended to follow the general dietary guidelines, including recommendations to eat sufficient dietary fibres.

Water-soluble dietary fibres in particular (see How do psyllium husks work?) may delay the absorption of other carbohydrates in the small intestine and thus help to stabilise the blood sugar.
