Fiber and Diabetes

Many people wonder how to increase fiber in their meal plan. Fiber can help with weight loss, reducing cholesterol levels, and much more. The American Diabetes Association suggests eating 20-35 grams of fiber each day. Simple dietary changes can help you achieve this recommendation.

To increase fiber:

• choose whole fruits and vegetables over juices,
• consume at least 3 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit each day,
• choose whole grain bread over white bread,
• eat whole grain cereals more often than refined, high sugar cereals,
• select brown rice over white rice, and
• choose whole grain pasta over refined flour pasta.
