Does adding 10-12 grams of soluble fibre really reduce blood sugar spikes?
Nutritionist Dr. Rebecca Pinto stated that adding 10 to 12 grams of soluble fiber to one's diet can significantly reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes, as supported by research indicating diabetic patients should consume 25 to 38 grams of fiber daily. Dr. Himika Chawla, a Senior Consultant at PSRI Hospital, confirmed that while soluble fiber aids in blood sugar management, it should be part of a comprehensive diabetes care plan. Both experts emphasized that fiber's effectiveness is enhanced when combined with balanced meals and regular exercise.
