MK is 67 years old and is concerned about cardiovascular disease risk and diabetes. Their last lab result showed an A1C of 6.8%, HDL of 38 and LDL of 132. MK started reading food labels and is concerned about their total fat intake each day and wants to make diet changes to reduce CVD risk.
According to the 2024 ADA Standards of Care, which evidence-based statement is most accurate when counseling MK about their fat intake?
- There is no one optimal percentage of calories from fat for people with diabetes.
- Try to limit saturated fat to less to 7% of calories each day.
- We suggest including 1 gram per day of Omega-3 supplement for prevention of cardiovascular events.
- The best approach is to reduce total fat to less than 30% of total calories per day.
