    A higher fibre intake has a positive effect on blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes

    It's a promising start and points towards a possible value. However the study is far too small and full of bias. As evidence based medicine it will have little impact but hopefully it's a pre study study of a larger group. Fingers crossed, always good to know what's happening and this format is...
