Normalizing Blood Sugar Levels
Viscous fibers also help normalize blood glucose levels by slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach and by delaying the absorption of glucose following a meal. Viscous fibers also increase insulin sensitivity. As a result, high intake of viscous fibers play a role in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. In addition, by slowing the rate at which food leaves the stomach, viscous fibers promote a sense of satiety, or fullness, after a meal, which helps to prevent overeating and weight gain.
