Managing Type 2 Diabetes: The Benefits of a Mediterranean Diet

In this video, we discuss the results of a study published in Diabetes Care in 2019 that investigated the effects of the Mediterranean diet on glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study found that the Mediterranean diet was an effective dietary intervention for improving glycemic control, reducing cardiovascular risk factors, and improving insulin sensitivity in individuals with type 2 diabetes. We discuss the implications of these findings and the potential benefits of adopting a Mediterranean diet for managing type 2 diabetes.
