Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
The oleic acid found in extra-virgin olive oil has been shown to improve triglycerides and HDL (good cholesterol), both of which are often found in unhealthy amounts in people with diabetes. It also has the ability to increase GLP-1, a hormone that regulates hunger, making a person feel full longer in between meals, preventing them from eating more than they should. Aside from this, olive oil is also high in antioxidants which make it a very healthy choice among other food-grade oils.
