Default Nutition Question Please


Well, since I assume you're not trying to get pregnant
and carry a child to term, I wouldn't think it matters.
A fetus needs some fats for proper development.
I don't know any diabetic women that I can think of
so I don't have anybody that I can ask what their
doctor said when they were trying to get pregnant.

After being a diabetic for 25+ years (currently diet/exercise controlled)
and a recent open-heart surgery patient, I have been following my diet

VERY
strictly. My question is this: All the recommendations I see are for

less
than 30% of calories from fat, a minimum is never mentioned. I know you

do
required some fat though. I have been running low to mid teens fat
percentage with some days in single digits. Is this okay? Where do we

draw
the line? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
