Should I stay away from red meat if im have type 2 diabetes? People who ate a low-fat vegan diet, cutting out all meat and dairy, lowered their blood sugar more and lost more weight. High/Increased Fiber Diet - Research has shown that fiber helps to stabilize and lower blood sugar levels. Both soluble and insoluble fibers delay the emptying of food from the stomach, slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, and thus moderate insulin levels. A diet high in complex carbohydrates and fiber helps increase tissue sensitivity to insulin, and a diet high in fiber-rich foods should also help those with diabetes to lose and maintain a healthy body weight. Any form of fiber will be beneficial, so choose those that you most easily tolerate. When soluble fiber ferments during digestion it produces 'short chain fatty acids' that increase the metabolism of glucose and thus may add to the beneficial effects of dietary fiber on diabetes. High-fiber supplements, such as pectin from fruit, have been found to improve glucose tolerance in some studies. A review of the research revealed that the extent to which moderate amounts of fiber help people with diabetes in the long term is still unknown, and the lack of many long-term studies has led some researchers to question the importance of fiber in improving diabetes. Nonetheless, most doctors advise people with diabetes to eat a diet high in fiber. Focus should be placed on fruits, vegetables, seeds, oats and whole-grain products. I would recommend that you discuss this matter with your doctor, as diet will have a very significant effect on your quality of life. Please don't take the advice of anyone here when it comes to this issue. Diet Guidelines http://www.diabetes911.net/readit/chapte...
