As an example, a normal weight male T2DM patient, homozygous for MTNR1B rs1387153 risk allele T, with a high genetic risk score for diabetes and a high genetic score for coffee consumption was advised to change the macronutrient distribution of his diet from 54% carbohydrate, 32% fat and 16% protein to lower carbohydrate (50%), low fat (25%) and high protein (25%) diet based on Mediterranean high quality foods and olive oil (rich in MUFA and low in saturated fat) [66,67,68]. Here, MTNR1B is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
