Even a small improvement in adherence to a Mediterranean diet could meaningfully reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes, a new study finds.
The biomarker score was applied in a study of over 22,000 people across eight countries in Europe, says Forouhi. Using this method, researchers found that people whose biomarker score indicated they stuck to a Mediterranean diet were less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes, she adds.
"Our research strengthens the case for recommending the Mediterranean diet for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes," says Forouhi, adding that there were limitations to this study. "Type 2 diabetes can occur due to a combination and varying degrees of insulin resistance and defective insulin secretion," Dr. Priya Jaisinghani, endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist at NYU Langone Health, tells TODAY.com. There are many environmental factors and genetic factors that can contribute to Type 2 diabetes, Jaisinghani adds.
The Mediterranean diet is less about dieting and more about eating whole foods you already love, which makes it accessible and sustainable,. While there aren’t strict rules, the Med diet does minimize meat, dairy, and processed foods.
