Metabolic adaptation
Healthier diets were associated with lower fasting insulin (FI) levels (β = -0.008 ln-pmol/L, 95% confidence interval: -0.009, -0.007).
Promoting a healthier diet can help reduce fasting insulin levels in individuals without diabetes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Diet score (per unit increase) was inversely associated with FI (β = -0.008 ln-pmol/L, 95% confidence interval: -0.009, -0.007).
Why this rating
Based on a meta-analysis of data from 15 cohort studies.
