Am I Diabetic If I Have To Take Coarse Milled Fiber Therapy?
My surgeon advised me to take the coarse milled fiber therapy, such as Metamucil. I have been taking the smooth texture of this product because it is sugar free. As I am diabetic, I need the sugar free but have been unable to find the coarse milled that is sugar free.

hi,
you should have posted what surgery did you undergo and what was the reason for instituting fiber therapy?
Even though you are a diabetic, coarse milled fiber will not cause high sugars and will help you in clearing bowel issues. fiber, in any form is fiber and is supposed to be taken irrespective of what form it is in. a little more excercise will further enhance good glycemic control.
all the best.
