Have you had a chance to read Christine Craig's recent article, "High Five For Fiber"?

This article covers emerging research continuing to highlight the powerful role of fiber in diabetes management.

Fiber in diabetes management benefits include:

✔️ Improving glycemia
✔️ Reducing post-meal glucose spikes
✔️ Enhancing lipid profiles

A recent meta-analysis shows that for individuals with type 1 diabetes, a high-fiber eating pattern not only supports A1c reduction but may also reduce hypoglycemia risk—thanks to fiber’s ability to slow digestion and glucose absorption.
