How Much Fat Can People with Diabetes Have Each Day?

I read that we should limit fat to 25%-35% of our total daily calories. Is this something that you stick to? We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member)

  1. I've heard similar. Sadly most of my food is either protein or fat but I am trying to bring the carbs up. I'm experimenting with some things I've read about sugar increasing metabolism and lack of magnesium being one of the main causes of diabetes.

    1. Hello , thanks for chiming in. There is so much information out there. And because I have several chronic illness, I have to watch what I eat and drink all around. Thanks for sharing. Diane (Team Member)

    2. yes I also have issues (food intolerances) so I have to watch as well. I love learning about foods s
      Tho and what can potentially help

  2. The more fat the better. Fat does not break down to glucose so has no impact on diabetics.

    1. Hello , thanks for chiming in. I did find a very interesting article. https://type2diabetes.com/nutrition/good-fats-vs-bad-fats-and-how-to-know-the-difference. My doctor told me to cut back on fat because of my weight. How are you doing on this journey? Diane (Team Member)
