flax oil pre diabetes?

I am a pre diabetic. I would like to start taking flax seed oil (Barleans). Does anyone have any experience with flax oil? Will it affect pre diabetes? I certainly don’t want to make things worse. I cannot take fish oil capsules.

I Haven’t used it but Flax seed is believed to slow down digestion and absorption of starch, resulting in lower levels of blood glucose and insulin, and normalizing other endocrine responses. Flax seed consumption (only 50 grams per day for four weeks) by young healthy adults and by the elderly has been shown to increase the number of bowel movements per week by about 30 percent, thus relieving constipation and possible intestinal toxemia.
