Affect of fiber on blood glucose level

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate but since it is not broken down by the human body, it does not contribute any calories.Fiber does not raise blood glucose levels. Because it is not broken down by the body, it has no effect on blood glucose levels because it isn't digested. So, fiber is a good thing for people with diabetes.There are two types of fiber: insoluble and soluble. Insoluble fiber keeps your digestive tract working well. Soluble fiber can help lower your cholesterol level and improve blood glucose control if eaten in large amounts.Another benefit of fiber is that it adds bulk to help make you feel full. Given these benefits, fiber is important to include in the daily diet for people with diabetes, as well as those who don't have diabetes.
