You should eat a lot of fiber if you have diabetes: Answer 3 of 8

You should eat a lot of fiber if you have diabetes: 


Fiber is a carbohydrate like sugars and starches. But because your body doesn’t digest fiber, it doesn’t affect your blood sugar. Foods high in fiber also help make you feel full. Get your fiber by eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole-grain foods like 100% whole wheat bread and whole oats. And be sure to keep the skin on fruits and veggies; that’s where most of the fiber is. One cup of raw spinach has about 5 grams of fiber. One slice of whole wheat bread has 3. All women need at least 25 grams of fiber a day; men should get at least 38 grams a day.
