    Background: Several comprehensive studies and evidences support the role of fiber in glycemic control. The glucose-lowering effect of fiber intake has not been consistently demonstrated in the literature and the effect related with source and amount of fiber intake of Type 2 DM patients. Although poor glycemic control has become more prevalent in Ethiopia in recent years, such information however is contextually limited in Ethiopia. Thus, this study attempted to examine the sources and quantify amount of dietary fiber intake and its effect on glycemic control of Type 2 DM patients. Objective: To determine the sources and amount of dietary fiber intake and its effect on glycemic control among Type 2 DM patients on follow up general government hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ,2024 Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 282 Type 2 DM patients selected from Zewedtu Memorial Hospital, Yekatit 12 hospital and medical college, Tirunesh Bejing hospital and Ras desta Dametew hospital from March, 2024 to April, 2024. Data was collected from study participants using KOBO collect mobile data collection app. Repeated multiple pass 24-hour recall was used to collect dietary data. Dietary data was collected using portion size estimation methods and analyzed in to nutrient using Nutrisurvey2007.The final data analyzed using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 27.The association between dietary fiber and glycemic control was assessed with Pearson correlation and declared strong if Pearson coefficient was above 0.7. Result :The most predominant source of dietary fiber intake was cereal (79.5%). The mean (SD) dietary fiber intake and HgA1C were 32.5 ± 20 g/d and 7.61 ±1.49 respectively. Dietary fiber has an inverse correlation with HgA1c, with a Pearson correlation of -0.383 (p value <0.001). Of all measures of glycemic control total energy, duration of DM followup and dietary fiber were positive significant association with poor glycemic control with a P value<0.05. . Conclusion : Dietary fiber intake of respondents were inline with the recommendation. Incorporating fiber rich food in a diet improves glycemic management of Type 2DM patients .Therefore, consumption diet rich in fiber for Type 2 DM patients is recommended.
