In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter SI (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)

Influence of dietary fat and carbohydrates proportions on plasma lipids, glucose control and low-grade inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes—The TOSCA.IT Study
The data support the potential for reducing the intake of fat and added sugars, preferring complex, slowly absorbable, carbohydrates (European Journal of Nutrition)
The association of substituting carbohydrates with total fat and different types of fatty acids with mortality and weight change among diabetes patients
In diabetes patients, substitution of carbohydrates with SFAs was associated with a higher CVD mortality risk and substitution by total fat was associated with a higher all-cause mortality risk. Substitution of carbohydrates with MUFAs may be associated with lower mortality risk and weight reduction. Instead of promoting replacement of carbohydrates by total fat, dietary guideline should continue focusing on replacement by fat-subtypes; especially SFAs by MUFAs (Clinical Nutrition)
Impact of Fat, Protein, and Glycemic Index on Postprandial Glucose Control in Type 1 Diabetes: Implications for Intensive Diabetes Management in the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Era
These studies have important implications for clinical practice and patient education and point to the need for research focused on the development of new insulin dosing algorithms based on meal composition rather than on carbohydrate content alone (Diabetes Care)
