Dietary Fiber in Nutrition Management of Diabetes

Dietary fiber intake benefits individuals with a wide variety of metabolic conditions or gastrointestinal disorders. In the past decade the advantages of generous fiber intakes have been reported for persons with diabetes (Anderson, 1979; Anderson and Chen, 1979; Anderson and Ward, 1979; Jenkins et al, 1982), hypercholesterolemia (Anderson et al, 1984), hypertriglyceridemia (Anderson, 1980), obesity (Anderson et al., 1980a), or hypertension (Anderson, 1983). Individuals with high levels of dietary fiber intake are less likely to develop coronary heart disease (Morriset al1977; Kromhout et al., 1982; Liu et al., 1982) or colon cancer (Bingham et al., 1979) than their neighbors with low-fiber intakes. The role of dietary fiber in the prevention (Trowell, 1975) and management of diabetes (Anderson, 1979, Anderson and Chen, 1979; Anderson and Ward, 1979) has been studied extensively. This review will examine the effects of dietary fiber intake on glucose and lipid metabolism of lean diabetic individuals.
