I am diabetic. After reading your interesting Post story about the "super grain" Salba ["Return of a Super Grain," Nov./Dec. 2005 Saturday Evening Post], I decided to try it. How glad I am that I did!

After taking Salba for only a week or two, I noticed my energy level had risen. I also lost four excess pounds very quickly. I used to snack a lot, but after starting Salba, I would go to the fridge, look in, and decide I really wasn't hungry. Salba has also lowered my blood glucose readings. My levels would always spike after meals, and with Salba they remain lower and more constant. I take it first thing in the morning so that I have plenty of time to use up the extra energy before bedtime.

My favorite use is in sugar-free yogurt at breakfast, but I also put it in soup, cereal, and salads. I have experienced a noticeable improvement in vim, vigor, and mood.
