| | Importance of Soluble Fiber in Treating Diabetes |
 | | Fortunately, scientists have shown that soluble fibers such as konjac glucomannan may slow insulin response and the rise in blood glucose levels after a meal [1,5,6,7,8,11,13,14,15,16,19,20,21], as well as reduce blood cholesterol [3,6]. |
 | | Soluble fiber makes stool softer and easier to pass, which means less constipation and fewer hemorrhoids. |
 | | While many sources of soluble fibers are beneficial, konjac roots bear the distinction of containing konjac glucomannan (KGM), the most viscous soluble fiber in nature. |
