The aim of this study was to determine whether flaxseed could lower blood glucose response more effectively when consumed as a single portion of 30 g, or a split portion consumed three times per day (10 g flaxseed per portion). Methods: The study was a randomized, repeated-measures, cross-over design. Fifteen healthy participants consumed either 1) three flaxseed muffins containing a total of 30 g of flaxseed once in the morning, 2) three flaxseed muffins consumed at three different timepoints across the day (10 g flaxseed per muffin) or 3) three control muffins consumed at three different timepoints across the day (0 g flaxseed). The 24-hour blood glucose response was measured using a continuous glucose monitor. Results: The results of this study demonstrated that flaxseed muffins given three times a day were effective at lowering and maintaining blood glucose levels over 24 hours, compared to the control muffins and that both flaxseed treatments resulting in a lower blood glucose iAUC during the night. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that adding flaxseed to a daily diet produced a lower glucose profile over 24 hours in a free-living context compared to the control muffins.
