> I avoid ... polyunsaturated oils ... The fat and protein profiles of beef are better I'm confused. Every source I can find says that with diabetes, saturated fats are worse for you and unsaturated fats are better for you (same as without diabetes): https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-understanding-fat https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-understanding-fat https://ucdintegrativemedicine.com/2016/09/diet-diabetes-saturated-fats-real-enemy/ https://ucdintegrativemedicine.com/2016/09/diet-diabetes-sat... https://www.joslin.org/info/5-common-food-myths-for-people-with-diabetes.html https://www.joslin.org/info/5-common-food-myths-for-people-w... https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/food-groups/fats-and-diabetes https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eat... https://consumer.healthday.com/encyclopedia/diabetes-13/diabetes-management-news-180/diabetes-good-fats-and-bad-fats-644047.html https://consumer.healthday.com/encyclopedia/diabetes-13/diab... Why do you believe that because of your diabetes, the saturated fat in beef is better for you than unsaturated oils?

I believe that because of my diabetes lower carb amounts are better for me. Much of the diabetes establishment still doesn't believe this, but going very low carb has had a massive benefit to my personal health. This is a hugely contentious issue in nutrition in recent years, and I find my self firmly on the side of Gary Taubes, Nina Teicholz and friends. I particularly recommend "The Big Fat Surprise" by Teicholz on the subject of the health of various fats. Her research goes flat against a wide variety of authorities ... and I find it very convincing. It sure changed what's on my plate.

look at "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes https://www.amazon.com/Good-Calories-Bad-Gary-Taubes-ebook/dp/B000UZNSC2/ https://www.amazon.com/Good-Calories-Bad-Gary-Taubes-ebook/d... as well as "The Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz as mentioned. Each of these paints a fully researched rebuttal to the mainline nutrition science sources you cite. Roughly "All of modern nutrition science is woefully corrupted, since about 1940".
