For individuals with diabetes and borderline thyroid conditions, incorporating cold-pressed oils into your daily routine can provide numerous health benefits while supporting overall well-being. One of the best choices is groundnut oil (peanut oil), which has a balanced fatty acid profile, low glycemic index, and is rich in antioxidants, making it suitable for managing blood sugar levels. Additionally, sesame oil (til oil) is highly beneficial, as it contains compounds that can help improve thyroid function and provide essential fatty acids that support hormonal balance.
Flaxseed oil is another excellent option, particularly for its high omega-3 fatty acid content, which can help reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular health, a common concern for those with diabetes. Furthermore, mustard oil can be used in moderation, as it has been associated with improved insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.
When choosing oils, it’s essential to consider seasonal variations. In warmer months, lighter oils such as sunflower oil or grapeseed oil can be preferable, as they are less heavy on digestion and can help maintain energy levels. In colder months, opting for richer oils like olive oil or coconut oil can provide warmth and nourishment, supporting the thyroid and overall metabolic function.
Regardless of the type of oil chosen, moderation is key, and it’s advisable to use them as part of a balanced diet that includes plenty of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.

Oh, oils, they’re not just for cooking, you know! In Ayurveda, they can be quite transformative, especially for diabetes and thyroid concerns. Both conditions need some tender care with dietary fat. Cold-pressed oils are defiantly a good place to start since they retain lots nutrients and are less processed.
I’d say cold-pressed coconut oil is pretty versatile. It’s great for all seasons usually. Coconut oil’s got a cooling vibe which helps balance Pitta and regulate agni, or digestive fire. It’s also known to have some effect on insulin secretion, but you know, always balanced with advice from your doctor, alright?
Now in winters, maybe turn to sesame oil. It’s warming. Love that for keeping your body insulated and cozy. It can be grounding, especially for Vata types, perfect when the chilly air hits. For thyroid, maintaining warmth aids metabolism. Sesame oil is rich in zinc, which thyroid loves!
Olive oil, cold-pressed of course, is another goody. Super for Pitta dosha - moderation is key as it's heavier oil. But hey, it's good in salad dressings and dips for that Mediterranean twist. All-year-round, benefits like monounsaturated fats and anti-inflammatory properties… not bad, really.
Though these oils are generally safe, moderation is key. Individual constitution - Prakriti - play their role. Hey, if there’s any specific imbalance or symptom, always loop in your Ayurvedic practitioner for more tailored stuff. And really, keep an eye on how your body feels. Your feedback system is hugely valuable!
Small amounts, around half to one teaspoon daily, is often a sweet spot for most. And yeah, monitor your health stats like glucose n thyroid function with your regular medical treatments and tests. Safe is sexy!
