Dietary fibre has a blood-glucose reducing effect, as is manifested by a diminished glycemic index. In 1980 the consumption of dietary fibre in Switzerland is 22 g/day in comparison to 27 g in 1956. Thirty-five patients with diabetes (15 with insulin and 20 without) were treated with a high carbohydrate-high fibre diet (55% of total calories) for a period of 12 months. There were no changes in postprandial blood glucose values, HbA1, cholesterol or bodyweight (in insulin-treated patients the weight decreased p less than 0.05) despite a high carbohydrate diet.
膳食纤维具有降低血糖的作用，这表现为血糖指数降低。1980年瑞士膳食纤维的摄入量为每日22克，而1956年为27克。35名糖尿病患者（15名使用胰岛素，20名未使用）采用高碳水化合物-高纤维饮食（占总热量的55%）治疗12个月。尽管是高碳水化合物饮食，但餐后血糖值、糖化血红蛋白、胆固醇或体重均无变化（在使用胰岛素治疗的患者中体重下降，p<0.05）。
