Why Is A Diet High In Fiber Recommended For A Patient With Diabetes?

396545384 I don't have diabetes. I am a nursing student trying to find out why a diet high in fiber specifically benefits a diabetic patient. I understand the overall benefits of fiber, but what specifically does fiber do to benefit a patient with diabetes. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Abby - Fiber helps slow the absorption of carbohydrates and in addition helps the patient feel fuller longer.
