Low carb, high healthy fat preferred for type 1 Diabetes

A diet lower in carbohydrates and higher in monounsaturated fats is appropriate nutritional therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes who have good metabolic and weight control, according to a report in the September issue of Diabetes Care.

Triglyceride profiles tended to be lower in the lower carbohydrate/higher monounsaturated fat group, and glycemic levels after supper were higher in the higher carbohydrate/lower fat group.
