Type 2 diabetes latest research: How to use diet for prevention
Research shows that following either the Mediterranean, DASH, or AHEI diet may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies from 2025 suggest that the DASH diet may be one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of diabetes complications. Recent research has also found that 3 to 5 cups of coffee per day may be linked to a longer life and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Finally, recent evidence shows that a plant compound found in nuts, fruits, and vegetables may help lower the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
