Why high fibre diet is important for diabetes patients?

Almost every expert in the field of medicine recommends high fibre diet for diabetes patients.How high fibre diet controls diabetes?

The reasons are very simple

1. High fibre diet  provides a physical barrier which protects carbohydrates from the digestive effect of enzymes.Thus fewer calories are consumed.Fats are swept away by the locomotive effect of fibre.Certain types of dietary fibre also tend to absorb harmful fatty acids.


2. By pushing the partly-digested food through the intestines,fibre decreases the transit time of foods,thereby reducing the rate of intestinal absorption.

3.Fibres release a gastrointestinal insulin secretagogue  namely GIP which enhances glucouse-induced insulin secretion.It is also associated with improved peripheral insulin action by increasing insulin receptor binding.This why the oral drug or insulin requirements are considerably reduced.

If you have diabetes then include high fibre foods in your diet.
