Do you know that any food void of fiber is a diabetics foe. Why? Food without fiber causes a rise in the blood sugar. We know food turns into sugar in the blood stream, however refined foods turns into sugar at a faster level than foods with fiber. Fiber on the other hand goes through the blood stream at slower pace and keeps the blood glucose at a even level without spiking it up. For more click on the link below.
Fiber is your friend because it prevents the glucose from going up. Fiber regulates the glucose level in the blood and keeps it normal.
