Blood Sugar & Diabetes Management
Benefits of Fibre
Managing Blood Sugar Through Diet and Lifestyle
Diabetes is an autoimmune condition that occurs when the pancreas is no longer able to produce or properly manage insulin. While there is currently no cure, the disease can be controlled and managed through a combination of medical care and diet. One of the most effective dietary tools? Fibre.
The Role of Blood Sugar and Insulin
Under normal conditions, your pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that helps convert the sugar in your blood (glucose) into energy. When you eat carbohydrates, your blood sugar rises, triggering the release of insulin. Insulin then acts as a “key,” unlocking your cells so glucose can enter and be transformed into energy. For people with Diabetes, this process is disrupted.
- In Type 1 Diabetes, the body stops producing insulin altogether, often due to the immune system attacking the pancreas. This form is more closely tied to genetics and less to lifestyle.
- In Type 2 Diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or cannot use it effectively, leaving excess glucose in the bloodstream and leading to elevated blood sugar levels.
Over time, consistently high blood sugar can cause serious complications, including cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, nerve issues, and vision problems.
How Fibre Supports Blood Sugar Control
Adopting a fibre-rich diet is one of the most effective lifestyle strategies for managing Diabetes. Fibre works in several important ways. First, it slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, helping to reduce blood sugar spikes and ease the strain on insulin production.
Second, a high-fibre diet supports a healthy body weight—particularly soluble fibre, which can help reduce belly fat by increasing feelings of fullness and encouraging a healthier balance of gut bacteria. Together, these effects help both manage existing Diabetes and lower the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes in the first place.
How Natura Fibre Can Help
While fibre can be found naturally in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, many people struggle to get enough in their daily diet. That’s where Natura Fibre comes in.
Made entirely from five organic, plant-based ingredients, Natura provides the expert-recommended daily dose of fibre in an easy-to-incorporate way. Beyond fibre, it also contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which support overall metabolic health.
