Role of Dietary Fiber Supplementation in Prevention of Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract— Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common metabolic disease that is frequently associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Dietary fiber greatly improves glycemic control, cholesterol management, and weight regulation, even while drugs are necessary. Because of their solubility, viscosity, and gel-forming qualities, soluble fibers—like psyllium, black cumin, flaxseeds, basil seeds, and guar gum—have a beneficial effect on metabolic health. Based on clinical studies, fiber supplementation improves waist circumference, BMI, and glucose levels in a variety of populations, including individuals with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and pregnant women. Reduced incidence of diabetes, fasting glucose, HbA1c, body weight, and cholesterol are highlighted by randomized controlled trials. Viscose and soluble fibers improve metabolic health by delaying the absorption of glucose. One easy and efficient way to avoid diabetes is to incorporate fiber into your diet. The purpose of this study is to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of dietary fiber supplements in the management and prevention of diabetes.
