Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated whether soluble fiber from psyllium helps improve blood sugar control and body weight in type 2 diabetes patients, finding significant benefits after 8 weeks of supplementation.
  • Participants who took soluble fiber saw reductions in BMI, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, insulin levels, and other glycemic indicators compared to those on a regular diet.
  • Incorporating moderate amounts of soluble fiber into the diet may enhance glucose metabolism and lipid profiles, offering a potential strategy for managing type 2 diabetes.]

Anyone came across with the protocol for this study, by any chance? The results seem quite astonishing (A1c dropped from 8.5 to 7.5 % in 8 weeks), given that the intervention involves 10g of psyllium per day on top of daily diet. Abutair (2016) https://t.co/jpNgMNzsbP https://t.co/yi7t2bkIuW
