Common Healthy Diets That May Reduce Diabetes Risk
A meta-analysis of over 800,000 people across 33 studies found that the Mediterranean, DASH, and AHEI diets all lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, with the DASH diet showing the greatest reduction at 23%. These diets emphasize healthy fats, plant-based foods, and reducing processed foods, sugars, and sodium, which are key factors in managing insulin resistance and preventing diabetes across diverse populations.
