 The ADA does not make a specific recommendation about the total amount of fat that should be consumed by diabetics on a daily basis.They do note that studies have shown that high fat diets that have replaced carbohydrates with fat have shown improved glycemic control and improved blood lipid profiles (increased HDL concentration and decreased triglycerides) compared to low fat diets.The ADA recommends avoiding all foods that have artificial sources of trans fats but note that the small amount of trans fats that naturally occur in meat and dairy are not a concern.
