Determinants of 20-year non-progression to Type 2 diabetes in women at very high risk: the E3N cohort study.

We showed that the top characteristic associated with not developing Type 2 diabetes, despite being at very high risk, was a healthy diet, characterized by limiting Western dietary habits, but with a high intake of antioxidant-rich foods. This underscores the importance of diet in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes in people at high risk.
