To prevent progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in prediabetes and normal glucose tolerance groups, the recommended macronutrient compositions are 54-57% carbohydrates, 16-20% protein, and 20-24% fat for prediabetes, and 56-60% carbohydrates, 14-17% protein, and 20-24% fat for normal glucose tolerance.
Practitioners should consider these macronutrient ratios when advising patients at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
