diabetes diet

fats, when consumed in excess, can be responsible for raising LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol).

However, unlike trans fat, saturated fat does not need to be completely eliminated from the diet, but should be consumed with caution by people with diabetes, within a balanced diet.

In this case, it is recommended to avoid excessive consumption of foods rich in saturated fats, such as butter, animal fat (especially lard, bacon and chicken or pork skin), in addition to whole dairy products.
