3. What is the optimal CHO-to-fat ratio?
Recommendation
100
CHO 45-65%
Min 130 g/day
HIGH CHO
75
CHO ↑ glucose,
50 CHO insulin,
triglycerides
25 Fat Fat
LOW FAT
CHON CHON
0 ↓ energy intake
LFHC HFLC Reduce weight
Low fat = High CHO

Diabetes: American Diabetes Association Position Statement (2004)
4. Meta-analysis
CHO-to-fat ratio in Type 2 diabetes
Low-fat, high-CHO High-fat, low-CHO
CHO/Fat 58%/24%
vs CHO/Fat 40%/40%
