Canola oil. It is very low in saturated fats and has omega 3’s which is good for your heart.
Olive oil is the best and purest out there containing healthyfat’s.
Canola oil and coconut oil are okay and the next in line.
Hope i’v helped, goodluck!

Here’s a guide to the healthiest cooking oils for people with diabetes and ideas for making good use of them in your kitchen:
1. Walnut Oil: A polyunsaturated fat and good source of omega 3s. With a smoke point of 400 degrees F, this oil is good for baking (try this Blueberry Oat Muffin recipe) and sautéing at low to medium-high heat (as in this Lemon and Garlic Summer Squash Recipe), or try it drizzled on a salad, such ask this Italian Bean and Artichoke Salad.
2. Flaxseed Oil: A polyunsaturated fat and good source of omega 3s. Due to its low smoke point of 225 degrees F, it should not be used for cooking over heat. Try it stirred into dishes after heating or in salad dressings, salsa or smoothies.
3. Canola Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a medium high smoke point of 425 degrees F, use it in baking (try using it in Oatmeal cookies), sautéing, stir-fry (like this Mexican dish), and in dressings.
4. Olive Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a medium smoke point of 325 degrees F, use this flavorful oil for light sautéing (like this dish of Prosciutto and Peas), sauces like pesto and salad dressings like this.
5. Peanut Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a medium smoke point of 350 degrees F, use this flavorful oil for light sautéing (try peanut chicken), sauces (such as curry) and salad dressings (like sesame green beans).
6. Almond Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a high smoke point of 495 degrees F, this is a good oil for high heat cooking, like sautéing or frying. Its great flavor also works well in desserts, like the Light Whipped Cream recipe
7. Avocado Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a high smoke point of 510 degrees F, this is a good oil for high heat cooking, like sautéing or frying, and tasty in salads such as this one.
8. Safflower Oil: A polyunsaturated fat with a low saturated fat level, this oil is a good all-purpose oil. Its high smoke point of 450 degrees F makes it good for high heat cooking, like sautéing and frying. Try it in this Kasha and Brown Rice Rotini Pasta dish or Bite Sized Lemon-Rosemary Chicken.
9. Sunflower Oil: A polyunsaturated fat with a low saturated fat level, this oil has a high smoke point of 460 degrees F making it good for high heat cooking, like sautéing and frying. Use it to sauté the vegetables in this Sweet Potato and Parsnip Soup or Zucchini Soup with Pasta.
10. Grapeseed Oil: A polyunsaturated fat with a low saturated fat level, this oil has a high smoke point of 420 degrees F, making it great for cooking and grilling of all kinds. It also has a very mild, nutty flavor that’s versatile enough to use in salads or virtually anything.
