Macro partitioning

Replacing 5% of daily energy intake from carbohydrates with polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) significantly improves glucose-insulin homeostasis by lowering HbA1c, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR, and improving insulin secretion capacity.

To improve your blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity, try swapping 5% of your daily calories from carbohydrates (like bread, rice, or sugar) for polyunsaturated fats (found in vegetable oils, nuts, and fish). This specific swap has been shown to lower HbA1c and improve how your pancreas releases insulin. You don't need to eliminate carbs entirely, but prioritizing PUFA over saturated fats or refined carbs when making swaps yields the best metabolic results.
