Hello Lala and thanks for getting in touch.
I am sorry to hear you are living with diabetes, it is indeed a very condition to manage.
However, there is a lot of support you can access to manage it.
Similar, with HIV – it is a long term condition, a lot of people living with HIV also have diabetes and live very long, productive and full lives.
The only thing you can do when living with a longterm condition is to know and act accordingly.
As you take care of your diet, and possibly have added exercise and medication in your life to manage diabetes, you also need to add the medication for HIV, if it turns out you also live with it.
Knowledge sets you free Lala, doesn’t kill you.
Not knowing, might or certainly will make your quality of life worst.
Please consider testing.
I suspect that I am hiv positive but I am afraid to test because I think I would die because I am diabetic
Hi Sheila, yes you can supplement with chia seeds. There will be no interaction between chia seeds and your treatment. It is safe to take them together.
