More healthy fats and fewer\u00a0carbohydrates to reduce type 2 diabetes risk<\/h1>\n
\n

Including more unsaturated fats, shifting consumption of saturated fats and carbohydrates in the diet helps to reduce blood sugar and insulin levels, also contribute to prevent type 2 diabetes and helps its treatment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

The worldwide number of people suffering from type 2 diabetes has increased dramatically during the last years. It is not breaking news. It\u00b4s been foretell during the last two decades. As years go by this fateful reality has nothing but reasserted.<\/p>\n

The current scene, and its outlook, keeps health administrations aware. Since this pathology, among others, is source of huge health system expenses. Therefore, health administrations are considering the need to work in prevention strategies. The role of the diet is key for this prevention<\/strong>. There is little difference of opinion on this. However, the effects (both preventive and palliative) that different fats and carbohydrates has in the diet has been controversial for years inside the scientific community. When it is time to establish best dietary guidelines, it has generated misunderstandings about the priorities for this specific problem.<\/p>\n

\"+Fortunately, in the middle of last July, a large-scale study was published showing the new information under the title: Effects of Saturated Fat, Polyunsaturated Fat, Monounsaturated Fat, and Carbohydrate on Glucose-Insulin Homeostasis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Feeding Trials<\/em><\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

This study led by renowned researchers, did a systematic evaluation of all available tests to quantify the effect of different fats (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) and carbohydrates of the diet on biological markers considered as \u201ckey\u201d in the control of glucose and insulin related to the development of type 2 diabetes. They came to two outstanding conclusions:<\/p>\n
