Daily Tips

Dietary fiber can help stabilize blood glucose levels and improve your blood cholesterol profile. Easy ways to bulk up your meals:

• Mix in wheat germ to yogurt or sprinkle it on salads. Two tablespoons contains two grams of fiber.
• Incorporate more fiber rich fruits and veggies into your diet.
• Opt for whole grain breads and cereals instead of the highly-refined versions.

Your registered dietitian can help you with more ideas to bulk up your diet. Keep in mind that high-fiber diet is not recommended for anyone suffering from diabetes-related gastroparesis (nerve damage of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract).
