Fiber and diabetes definition - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Type 1, and Metabolic Disorders treatment and medications

Fiber and diabetes: Soluble fibers (oat bran, apples, citrus, pears, peas/beans, psyllium, etc.) slow down the digestion of carbohydrates (sugars), which results in better glucose metabolism. Some patients with the adult-onset diabetes may actually be successfully treated with a high-fiber diet alone, and those on insulin, can often reduce their insulin requirements by adhering to a high-fiber diet.

Common Misspellings: fiber and diabeties, fiber and diabettes, fiber and diabetis
