ABSTRACT Diabetes is a chronic illness and hyperlipidemia can be a complication of disease that requires a combination of pharmacological and nutritional measures for better glycemic control (American Diabetes Association, 2009). Patient’s adherence to medication and lifestyle modification plays an important role in diabetes and hyperlipidemia management. This study was conducted on the patients suffering from diabetes as well as hyperlipidemia, to assess the impact of flaxseed consumption. The sample consisted of 50 patients (suffering from both diseases). An estimation of lipid profile and blood sugar level of the patients before and after consuming the raw flaxseed powder (10 gms) early morning once a day for 45 days was done. The pre and post trial data was compared for cholesterol, HDL, VLDL, LDL, triglycerides, fasting and post-prandial blood sugar. The result revealed that consumption of flaxseeds significantly reduced the total cholesterol levels and increased the HDL levels of the patients.
