- Proper insulin function depends on the right type of oils.
- Diets severely restricting beneficial oils are ineffective.
- A new program, based on evolutionary diet principles for diabetes, shows positive clinical results.
- This program differs from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations.
