It probably would if it means oils with less chemicals, but might not affect diabetes much which is as I understand it, caused by glucose/insulin spikes.

I did the math once and Americans ingest a lot of hexane just from seed oils every year on average.

Peanut oil is a seed oil though and it's refined the same way as others using hexane.

I don't know how much it's the fact of them being seed oils vs the toxic stuff added to them in the refining process.
