Subjects with the highest scores on the 'high-protein and high-carbohydrate' dietary patterns had higher odds of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than those with the lowest scores (OR: 2.89, 95% CI: 2.11–3.96).
Practitioners should consider advising patients with T2D to be cautious about high-protein and high-carbohydrate dietary patterns due to their association with increased CVD risk.

Adjustment for confounding factors, subjects with the highest scores on the 'high-protein and high-carbohydrate' patterns...had higher odds of CVD than those with the lowest scores (OR: 2.89, 95% CI: 2.11–3.96).
Why this rating
The study involves a large cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes.
