is inulin ok for diabetics?
Diabetes. Short-term use of inulin along with antidiabetes drugs may improve blood sugar levels in some people with diabetes. The benefit of long-term use is unclear.
Maintains balanced blood sugar
People with type 2 diabetes need to get a handle on blood sugar, which can get too high after eating. Unlike other sugars, inulin doesn’t raise your blood sugar. That’s because it’s not broken down in the stomach or small intestine. Instead, it moves right through to your colon. Research found that people with and without diabetes who ate inulin had less rise in their blood sugar. The change was likely due to the way inulin slows the absorption of carbohydrates.
Holds the line on cholesterol and triglycerides
Inulin keeps your cholesterol down like other soluble fibers, such as beta-glucan in oats. That’s because inulin changes the population of bacteria in your intestines, which in turn affects how cholesterol is made. Some studies hint that inulin may work better in people with type 2 diabetes than in healthy people. Inulin also helps lower triglycerides, another form of fat in your blood that you need to keep a lid on.
Keeps your weight under control
Inulin powder has a twin among sugar molecules called oligofructose, which does similar things in your body. Researchers have tested both kinds of sugars to see how they affect weight. Both inulin and oligofructose seem to help people eat less and lose weight. It may be that these sugars fill you up faster, or it may be that they change your digestive bacteria to help you lose weight. Yet another theory is that inulin changes the hunger hormones your body produces so you don’t feel as hungry.
However it works to balance your blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight, inulin is a good addition to your diabetes diet.
