how does metamucil/fiber slow down digestion of sugar?

Example, if you drink soda with metamucil, does it make the sugar a lot better and similar to the sugar that your body recognizes when it eats fruits?

One just takes priority over the other. Chemically things don’t really change with regard to how our body breaks things down, but harder to digest things like fiber pass through at a steady pace, so you can sort of time when you’ll have bowel movements when you have a high fiber diet or take a fiber supplement.

The fiber itself doesn’t change how your body processes things, it just affects the order in which it occurs.
