Implication

Randomised controlled trials show dietary fibre may enhance glycaemic control in individuals with metabolic disease, suggesting gut microbiota involvement.

Key Points

  • Dietary fibre improved glycaemic outcomes in five out of nine trials, indicating potential health benefits.
  • Randomised controlled trials revealed variable effects on gut microbiota diversity and composition following dietary fibre interventions.
  • Improvements in gut barrier integrity and systemic inflammation markers provide consistent evidence of benefit from dietary fibre consumption.
  • Future trials should target healthy populations to further explore dietary fibre's role in metabolic health.
