Low carbohydrate High fat diet.That means,you get 60 % of your energy from fat, 20 % from protein and balance from carbohydrates.The underlying principle is that by reducing your carbohydrate consumption,you are reducing the need for insulin enzyme which is in short supply among diabetics.The medical profession is generally against this thinking because too much fat is feared to cause cardio vascular diseases.

Most low-carb diet authors argue that foods high in saturated fats (butter, coconut oil) are not a problem in the context of low-carb diets, while a few others avoid them. Most say to avoid oils which are high in omega-6 fats (soy, corn, most safflower and sunflower). Partially hydrogenated oils should always be avoided.

Please see Google search for more details on Low carbohydrate high fat diet.
