Beans are a healthy choice for anyone – they’re low in fat, and offer protein
and a variety of vitamins and minerals. But they may have extra benefits for
people with diabetes because they’re
high in soluble fiber. Beans can reduce your need for insulin medications.Dr.James
Anderson, one of the early research pioneers on the health benefits of fiber,
found that people with Type 1 diabetes
were able to reduce their need for insulin by 38% just by eating beans. And for those with type 2 diabetes,
eating beans not only reduced their need for insulin and other diabetic
medications but ,in some cases, almost eliminated the need for supplemental insulin.
