EVALUATION OF FIBER RICH DIETS IN LIPID MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN TYPE II DIABETES MELLITIS

Shweta Choudhary* and Shailja Jain

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study is designed to evaluate the effects of fiber in lipid management (blood level of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, VLDL, RR) of human Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Method: Under this study three diets viz. control diet (no fiber), low fiber diet (5 gm fiber), high fiber diet (10 gm fiber) were given to Control group, Experimental group 1, Experimental group 2 respectively. Data were recorded after three months supplementation and statistically analyzed. Result: After the continuous consumption of test diets by all three groups, it was inferred from statistical analysis that fiber has no influence on level of cholesterol. Similar behaviour was observed in the case of triglycerides, HDL, VLDL, LDL and RR. Conclusion: It was concluded that prescribed amount of fiber brought about some changes in different lipid levels but the changes were not found significant enough to manage lipid profile of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.
