Comparison of whole‑grain versus fruit‑based dietary fiber sources in sustaining 48‑week weight loss and improving cardiometabolic risk among participants treated with metformin versus acarbose - problem-solution
Whole-grain fiber outperforms fruit-based fiber in maintaining 48-week weight loss and lowering HbA1c for people on metformin or acarbose. The March randomized trial showed that participants who emphasized whole grains kept more of their initial weight loss and improved cardiometabolic markers compared with those relying on fruit fiber.
