Eleven non-insulin dependent and 10 insulin-dependent patients with diabetes mellitus were randomized to a control diet (low-fiber traditional diabetic diet with 40% of energy as carbohydrate and up to 20 g/day of fiber) or a trial diet (carbohydrate provided 60% of energy and mean fiber content was 95 g/day). The effect of the high fiber diet on factors VIIc and Xc in the non-insulin dependent group was significant. No changes were noticed in factor VIIIc or fibrinogen. In the insulin-dependent group, the only significant effect was a fall in factor VIIIAg. (rkm)
