A recent study led by scientists from The Ohio State University found that snacking contributes to around 20% of an average American's daily caloric intake, with little nutritional value. People with type 2 diabetes consumed slightly fewer snack-related calories, indicating a conscious effort to cut down on snacking. The study suggests that diabetes education is effective in influencing dietary behaviors, but there is a need to extend this education to individuals at risk for diabetes and those with normal blood glucose levels to improve overall dietary patterns.
