Healthy Cooking Oil Options for Diabetics:

1. Olive Oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, olive oil is a heart-healthy choice. It can be used for low to medium-heat cooking and in salad dressings.

2. Canola Oil: Also high in monounsaturated fats and low in saturated fats, canola oil is suitable for high-heat cooking like frying and baking.

3. Avocado Oil: Another good source of monounsaturated fats, avocado oil has a high smoke point, making it suitable for high-heat cooking methods.

4. Flaxseed Oil: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed oil is best used in dressings and dips due to its low smoke point. It should not be heated.

5. Walnut Oil: Contains omega-3 fatty acids and is best used in low-heat cooking or as a finishing oil due to its delicate flavor.
