Abstract in brief

This study found that taking Salbachia Salvia hispanica L (chia seeds) helped overweight and obese people with type 2 diabetes lose more weight and reduce waist size compared to a control group over 6 months.
Participants consuming Salbachia also showed improvements in markers related to inflammation and obesity, such as lower Creactive Protein levels and higher adiponectin levels.
The findings suggest that including Salbachia in the diet could be a helpful addition to traditional treatments for managing obesity and related health risks in people with type 2 diabetes.]
