Obesity, diabetes, and pre-diabetes are a triple threat in India. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with the initiation and development of unhealthy eating patterns and physical inactivity. Despite dietary advice, people frequently consume too little or the wrong kind of Dietary Fiber (DF), which needs to be corrected. An expert panel made an effort to examine, summarize, and report on the role and significance of high DF in the management of T2DM as well as provide helpful advice on include high fiber in a regular diet. To guarantee diversity among the members in terms of professional interest and cultural background, twelve diabetologists and two highly qualified dietitians from India were chosen.
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a useful strategy and a crucial part of T2DM care, according to evidence. Studies have demonstrated the multi-systemic health advantages of Fiber-Rich Diabetes Nutrition (FDN), including improvements in glycemic control, decreased glucose spikes, decreased hyperinsulinemia, increased plasma lipid concentrations, and weight management in T2DM patients.
