Adherence to a Prudent dietary pattern (high in vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, and whole grains) is associated with a modestly lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
Eating a Prudent dietary pattern, which includes more vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, and whole grains, is associated with a modestly lower risk of type 2 diabetes. While the effect is smaller than the risk increase from a Western diet, it is a beneficial dietary choice for long-term metabolic health.
