Myth #2: You don’t have to worry about fats when you have diabetes.
Fact: Because fats don’t directly affect blood sugar levels, people with diabetes don’t often pay as much attention to them as carbs. However, fats do contribute to weight gain and can lead to diabetes-related complications. Choose oils low in saturated fat, like canola oil. Reduce the fat in your diet with a few simple changes, like removing poultry skin and fat from meat, choosing low-fat dairy products, and avoiding hydrogenated oils and fried foods.
