The nutritional quality of dietary components exerts a greater influence on metabolic health outcomes than the relative proportions of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins).
People with type 2 diabetes who eat unhealthy diets are more likely to have bad cholesterol levels than those who eat better.
People with type 2 diabetes who eat the worst diets are much more likely to have multiple health problems at once, like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, and being overweight.
The worse someone with type 2 diabetes eats, the more likely they are to have multiple health problems—this pattern holds even between small differences in diet quality.
People with type 2 diabetes who eat healthier are less likely to have multiple health problems at the same time.
