Thanks for your Query. You have asked a very good question. First of all I would like to tell you that no single oil is proven to be good for Diabetes patients. And as such oils need to be used in limited quantities. The maximum amount of oil per person per month is 500 ml. If one has Cardiac problems then need to reduce oil intake to less than 350 ml per month. Rice Bran oil, Mustard oil, Olive oil etc are better oils. You can use these alternately rotation basis but don't exceed the prescribed amount. Lastly I would like to tell you that any refined or super refined oil is bad for our health. Try using cold pressed oil. For any further information or advice you can book an online consultation with me on Lybrate. Thank you.
