What precaution is needed while starting high-fibre foods in a diabetic patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Increase fibre gradually and keep water adequate
Increasing fibre gradually gives the digestive system time to adapt and reduces gas, bloating, cramps, or constipation. Adequate fluid supports the movement of fibre through the intestine, unless a clinician has prescribed fluid restriction. Fibre may also affect glucose response and the absorption of some medicines, so portions, glucose monitoring, and medication advice should be reviewed.
