Since a diabetic must count carbohydrates, foods that are high in fiber allow half the fiber gram count to be deducted from the total carbohydrates. For example, if you wanted to eat a grain roll that had 24 grams of carbohydrate and 10 grams of fiber, you can deduct five grams from the total, recording the roll as 19 grams.
