When it comes to diabetes management, most people focus on controlling sugar intake or avoiding sweets. While these steps are important, one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in controlling blood sugar is dietary fiber.

Fiber plays a crucial role in slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates, supporting gut health, and reducing sugar spikes after meals. For diabetics, adding the right amount and type of fiber to the diet can be a game-changer. This is why Atta Ghar’s Diabetic Atta and Diabetic Daliya are specifically designed to be high in fiber and low in glycemic index (GI), offering a natural and effective way to support diabetes management.

What is Fiber and Why is It Important?

Dietary fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body cannot fully digest. Unlike simple carbs that break down quickly into glucose, fiber passes through the digestive tract slowly, providing several benefits:

• Slows sugar absorption: Helps prevent post-meal sugar spikes.

• Improves digestion: Keeps bowel movements regular and reduces constipation.

• Supports satiety: Makes you feel full for longer, preventing overeating.

• Aids weight management: Reduces cravings and unnecessary snacking.

• Promotes gut health: Acts as food for healthy gut bacteria.

Types of Fiber

There are two main types of fiber, both of which are beneficial for diabetics:

1. Soluble Fiber: Dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance. It slows digestion, reduces cholesterol, and improves blood sugar control. Found in oats, barley, and flaxseed.

2. Insoluble Fiber: Adds bulk to stool and supports smooth bowel function. Found in wheat bran, ragi, and vegetables.

A diabetic-friendly diet should include both soluble and insoluble fiber in balanced amounts.

Fiber and Blood Sugar Control

Studies show that diets rich in fiber can:

• Reduce HbA1c levels (long-term sugar readings)

• Lower fasting blood sugar

• Improve insulin sensitivity

This means fiber not only helps with immediate sugar control but also contributes to long-term diabetes management.

How Atta Ghar Products Provide Fiber Naturally

Atta Ghar Diabetic Atta and Atta Ghar Diabetic Daliya are formulated to maximize fiber content while ensuring great taste.

• Ragi (Finger Millet): High in insoluble fiber, excellent for digestion and sustained energy.

• Barley: Packed with beta-glucan, a soluble fiber proven to lower blood sugar and cholesterol.

• Oats: Rich in soluble fiber that forms a gel and slows glucose absorption.

• Chana Dal Flour: Adds protein and fiber, improving satiety.

Together, these ingredients provide a balanced fiber profile that works throughout the day to keep sugar levels in check.
