Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use sugar. Eating soluble dietary fiber lowers cholesterol levels and helps to normalize blood glucose and insulin levels. Soluble fiber is found in many foods as well as in diabetes supplements containing psyllium, such as Konsyl.
