Whole Grains and its effect on preventing diabetes

March 28, 2023 Whole grains don’t contain a magical nutrient that fights diabetes and improves health. It’s the entire package—elements intact and working together—that’s important. The bran and fiber in whole grains make it more difficult for digestive enzymes to break down the starches into glucose. This leads to lower, slower increases in blood sugar and insulin, and a lower glycemic index. As a result, they stress the body’s insulin-making machinery less, and so may help prevent type 2 diabetes. Whole grains are also rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that may help reduce the risk of diabetes.  In contrast, white bread, white rice, mashed potatoes, donuts, bagels, and many breakfast cereals have what’s called a high glycemic index and a high glycemic load.  Simple Steps to Preventing Diabetes | The Nutrition Source | Harvard T.H.

And when you are active on a regular basis, it can also lower your A1C." Blood Sugar and Exercise | ADA (diabetes.org)
