Fiber - It Can Lower Blood Sugar
and Cholesterol Levels
A diet rich in fiber has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood sugar in diabetics. Many diabetics can significantly lower their blood sugar, and as a result, reduce their diabetic and cholesterol medications or stop taking them altogether, by eating lots of high fiber foods.
A recent study published in the May issue of The New England Journal of Medicine found that blood sugar levels were reduced by 8.9% on a high fiber diet. It also lowered cholesterol and triglycerides.
Fiber comes from the cell walls of plants. Additionally, fiber and water work together to keep the bowels regular.
Unfortunately, the majority of high fiber foods also contain a high amount of carbohydrates, and if you are diabetic, those will increase your blood sugar levels dramatically.
Below are lists of low-carb foods that are also high in fiber, along with the approximate number of grams of fiber they contain.
The fiber content shown is for a quantity of 1/2 cup.
Low-Carb Fruits
- Blackberries, 4.9 grams
- Avocado, 3.8 grams
- Medium-sized Apple, 3.6 grams
- Raspberries, 2.6 grams
- Blueberries, 2.1 grams
- Cherries, 1.5 grams
- Strawberries, 1.4 grams
Low-Carb Vegetables
- Brussels Sprouts, 3.1 grams
- Broccoli, 2.7 grams
- Greens, cooked, 2-4 grams (beet greens, collards, kale, spinach, and turnip greens)
- Mushrooms, canned, 2.0 grams
- Green Beans, 1.4 - 2 grams (broad beans, pole beans, and snap beans)
- Asparagus, 1.8 grams
- Okra, 1.6 grams
- Zucchini, 1.3 grams
- Yellow Summer Squash, 1.3 grams
- Cauliflower, 1.4 grams
- Onions, 1.3 grams
- Celery, 1.1 grams

Including more of the above foods in your diet will help in lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
You should make changes to your diet to include more high fiber foods, and do it gradually. Just add a few grams at a time so that your digestive system can adjust.
It’s best to increase the amount of fiber in your diet over several weeks. This prevents problems with stomach-aches, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
The message is, increase the amount of fiber in your diet!
A Diabetic Success
"I have been on the low carb diet that you sent with the WSN Diabetic Pack. I have lost a total of 33 pounds in two and one-half months. My blood sugar numbers have gone from around 180 to 200+ down to 95-114 on an average day. I am able to control my sugar level with no medication. The WSN works and I haven't had any meds in almost two months and am able to stay in normal ranges. I also have been doing water aerobics and walking."
"My wife has been a severe diabetic for about 15 years. She used to take three oral diabetic pills a day and three LARGE needles of insulin. She saw the results I have had so she is now using the diabetic pack and is having great results. She has lost about 18 pounds in 1 1/2 months and her average sugar level has gone down from well over 200 - 300 each day to around the 140 - 170's and some times even in the mid 90's. She has not gotten the low carb diet down as well as I have, but she is coming along. Now she is only taking 2 pills a day and only 2 shots a day of insulin with reduced amounts."
"We are believers in your product and have experienced great increases in energy and overall feelings of well-being. Thank you so much."
