A higher variety score of dietary protein sources (consuming appropriate quantities from more of the eight major sources: grains, meat, poultry, fish, egg, legumes) is inversely associated with the risk of new-onset diabetes.

To lower your risk of type 2 diabetes, aim to include a variety of protein sources in your diet rather than relying on just one or two. The study suggests that consuming appropriate amounts from a mix of grains, legumes, fish, poultry, and eggs is associated with a significantly lower risk of developing diabetes compared to a diet with fewer protein sources. You do not need to eliminate any specific source, but rather ensure your diet includes a broad spectrum of these foods.
