In plain language
A GRADE-assessed meta-analysis of 14 randomized trials found guar gum supplementation lowered glycated hemoglobin, with fasting glucose responding at doses above 15 g per day. The pooled evidence locates guar's action in the post-meal window rather than in fasting readings, which is exactly where a with-meal viscous fiber is designed to work.
