Dietary interventions remain a cornerstone in managing diabetes, with dietary fiber playing a significant role in glycemic control and satiety regulation. High-fiber diets reduce postprandial glucose levels, insulin resistance, and promote satiety by modulating digestion and gut hormone secretion. This review explores the potential benefits of reformulating traditional samosas using high-fiber ingredients to improve glycemic control and satiety among diabetic patients. The review synthesizes evidence from clinical trials and observational studies, highlighting the physiological effects of dietary fiber on metabolism, the mechanisms of glycemic regulation, and barriers to the adoption of high-fiber foods in culturally specific dietary practices. The study concludes with practical recommendations for integrating high-fiber samosas into diabetes management strategies.
