Macro partitioning
A Mediterranean diet supplemented with mixed nuts reduces diabetes risk, but the effect is not statistically significant compared to a low-fat control diet in this specific analysis.
Adding 30 grams of mixed nuts daily to a Mediterranean diet may help lower diabetes risk, but the evidence for this specific combination is less conclusive than for olive oil. It is still a healthy addition, but do not rely on it as the sole preventive strategy if you are at high risk.
WeakQualifiesMEDIUM confidence
Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios were... 0.82 (CI, 0.61 to 1.10) for the Mediterranean diet supplemented with nuts compared with the control diet.
Why this rating
RCT design, but the specific subgroup analysis for nuts did not reach statistical significance.
