Genetic risk factors and diet quality are independently associated with type 2 diabetes; a healthy diet is linked to lower diabetes risk across all levels of genetic risk. That’s the conclusion of a study of more than 35,000 US adults publishing April 26th in PLOS Medicine by Jordi Merino of Massachusetts General Hospital, US, and colleagues.
