It is widely known that dietary fiber suppresses the rise of blood sugar level. The reason is if you eat food with dietary fiber, it takes time for foods to move from the stomach to the small intestine and therefore rise of blood sugar level slows down. Furthermore, there is evidence that if you keep taking dietary fiber for long periods of time, metabolism of glucose is facilitated by rising sensitivity of insulin.
