Reduce Consumption of Trans Fat
Trans fatty acids (TFA) may modify cell membrane activities and peripheral insulin sensitivity.
Unlike other fats, they give no health advantages and raise the risk of several ailments, making them considered the worst type of fat to consume. In contrast to regular dietary fats, it increases bad cholesterol and decreases good cholesterol. Also, a high trans fats diet increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, the primary cause of death worldwide.
Furthermore, there is evidence of the effects of a high diet of trans fats on elevated insulin resistance. Typical foods that include artificial trans fats are pies, doughnuts, and fried fast meals. Trans fats are often seen in highly processed meals.
Fat in the circulation may accumulate inside muscle cells, producing harmful fatty breakdown products and free radicals that interfere with insulin transmission. As a result, no matter how much insulin is present in the blood, it cannot adequately open the glucose gates, causing blood sugar levels to rise.
The FDA ruled that artificial trans fats were dangerous to consume in 2015. The American Diabetes Association suggests shifting the diet from saturated and trans fats toward monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats instead, especially for patients with insulin resistance.
