When it comes to controlling blood sugar, it is the plentiful amount of soluble fiber in beans that seems to be the magical nutrient. If you have insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, or diabetes, adding beans into your regular diet can be very helpful. The reason for this is that the soluble fiber in beans provides a slow burning and long lasting source of energy, consisting of complex carbohydrates and proteins for your body to use. Since these macronutrients take longer for your body to break down, blood sugar levels remain stabilized. When blood sugar are stabilized you body does not need to release as much insulin to control the glucose in the blood. This is crucial for diabetics patients, as they, especially, need to control their blood glucose and insulin levels in order maintain their health.
