Key result
In T2D, MUFA-rich diets fail to improve insulin sensitivity vs SFA but lower postprandial small VLDL.

No insulin sensitivity benefit from MUFA- over SFA-rich diets in T2D; leaves open whether reduced postprandial small VLDL improves outcomes.
How do dietary fat amount and composition affect postprandial lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Postprandial dyslipidemia is a key feature of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, driven more by total fat intake than specific fatty acid types, highlighting the need for dietary management.
Riccardi et al. (2006) conducted a review in Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. MUFA-rich diet vs. SFA-rich diet was evaluated on Insulin sensitivity and postprandial lipaemic response. In type 2 diabetes, a MUFA-rich diet did not modify insulin sensitivity compared to an SFA-rich diet, but induced a significantly lower postprandial response of small VLDL.
