Investigation of dietary fiber intakes and varies in 53 patients with diabetes / 中华预防医学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the intakes of total dietary fiber (TDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes so as to provide the base for making the adequate intakes of dietary fiber.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The enzymatic-gravimetric methods for dietary fiber were established on basis of a collaborative study. Dietary intake was measured by means of 3-day food records through weighting and using food pictures. TDF, SDF and IDF were analyzed by enzymatic-gravimetric methods.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The reproducibility relative standard deviations for DF ranged from 2.63% to 9.67%. Vegetable foods were the mainly sources of DF. The total dietary intakes, insoluble and soluble fibers were 26.5 +/- 9.8, 14.6 +/- 5.8, 10.4 +/- 4.4 (g/d) respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The dietary fiber intake of the diabetes remains in the range of intakes recommended by American Diabetes Association.</p>
