               It can help with reducing the need for exogenous insulin and better the
               blood glucose level.
               There are two kinds of fiber:

                   •      Soluble – These are found in foods such as oat, legumes and
                          some fruit. When combined with water, it creates a gel that
                          causes the stomach’s content to leave the digestive tract
                          slowly. It’s thought that this fiber can also slow the glucose
                          absorption rate.

                   •      Insoluble fiber – These are found in whole grain cereals,
                          breads and certain vegetables, which can increase the amount
                          of stool and stop constipation.

               The biggest issue with fiber consumption is that diabetics may need to
               adjust their insulin dosage to stop hypoglycemia from happening.

               Make sure to steadily increase the consumption of fiber to avoid any
               complications and talk with a dietician.

               damage, heart disease, etc.

               What Is Pre-Diabetes?

               This is the condition where the body’s blood glucose levels are higher
               than normal but not so high to be considered a diabetic. According to
               various research, 70 percent of people who are classified as pre-
               diabetic become actual diabetics with type II diabetes.

               Consider that just for a moment – 70 percent of all people with pre-
               diabetes become type II diabetics, which means 30 percent of
