Dietary fiber and type 2 diabetes.
Water-soluble fiber appears to have a greater potential to reduce postprandial blood glucose, insulin, and serum lipid levels than insoluble fiber. Viscosity of the dietary fiber is important; the greater the viscosity, the greater the effect.

Beneficial Effects of High Dietary Fiber Intake in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
A high intake of dietary fiber, particularly of the soluble type, above the level recommended by the ADA, improves glycemic control, decreases hyperinsulinemia, and lowers plasma lipid concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Dietary fiber intakes and insulin requirements in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.
Among pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, higher fiber intake is associated with lower daily insulin requirements. Dietary fiber intake should be considered when counseling patients about the management of blood glucose concentrations.

The potential role of soluble fibre in the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia.
soluble fibre can be effective in lowering cholesterol by clinically significant amounts

Effects of dietary fiber and carbohydrate on glucose and lipoprotein metabolism in diabetic patients
A balanced increase in consumption of fiber-rich foods and unsaturated fat is the most rational way to replace foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol in the diabetic diet.

The Clinical Impact of Fiber Supplementation for the Reduction of Postprandial Blood Glucose and Risk Reduction of Complications from Diabetes
A high intake of dietary fiber, particularly of the soluble type, above the level recommended by the ADA (25-30grm.), improves glycemic control, decreases hyperinsulinemia, and lowers plasma lipid concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes. Reducing postprandial blood glucose significantly caused a decrease of HbA1c by 1.4%, therefore reducing the complications from diabetes.

Effect on Blood Lipids of Very High Intakes of Fiber in Diets Low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol

Very high intakes of foods rich in soluble fiber lower blood cholesterol levels even when the main dietary modifiers of blood lipids -- namely, saturated fat and cholesterol -- are greatly reduced.
