However, the effects of dietary fiber on glycemic control were considered inconsequential.1 Furthermore, the expert panel of the ADA considered it difficult to achieve a high dietary intake of soluble fiber without consuming foods or supplements fortified with fiber.1 We therefore designed the present study to determine the effects on glycemic control and plasma lipid concentrations of increasing the intake of dietary fiber in patients with type 2 diabetes exclusively through the consumption of foods not fortified with fiber (unfortified foods) to a level beyond that recommended by the ADA.

Daily plasma glucose concentrations were 10 percent lower with the high - fiber diet than with the ADA diet (values for the area under the curve, 3743 ± 944 vs. 3365 ± 1003 mg ․ hour per deciliter [207.8 ± 52.4 vs. 186.8 ± 55.7 mmol ․ hour per liter]; P = 0.02), and plasma insulin concentrations were 12 percent lower (values for the area under the curve, 1107 ± 650 vs. 971 ± 491 μU ․ hour per milliliter [6642 ± 3900 vs. 5826 ± 2946 pmol ․ hour per liter]; P = 0.05)(Figure 1).

The intake of dietary fiber among people living in Western countries remains low, and according to the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), it averages 17 g per day in the United States.24 Although patients with diabetes are advised to increase their intake of dietary fiber, in the NHANES study, their average daily intake was found to be only 16 g. 24 Why the intake of dietary fiber in patients with diabetes remains low — despite its well - documented effect of lowering plasma cholesterol concentrations — remains unexplained.

A high intake of dietary fiber, particularly of the soluble type, above the level recommended by the ADA, improves glycemic control, decreases hyperinsulinemia, and lowers plasma lipid concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes.

In conclusion, an increase in the intake of dietary fiber, predominantly of the soluble type, by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus improved glycemic control and decreased hyperinsulinemia in addition to the expected lowering of plasma lipid concentrations.
