When I took my HMO's diabetic education course we were told that not all fiber can be discounted. Only the indigestible portion. Now the ensuing discussion on how to tell when you can discount fiber was, as I recall, somewhat confused and time ran out. Now some food data sources cite 'fiber,' 'dietary fiber,' 'non-digestible fiber' and I suppose there are more variations. It is a question where some top expert opinion is needed.
