Similarly, Huo et al. (2015) performed a meta-analysis of nine RCTs assessing the impact of a Mediterranean-style diet (MSD) versus a control diet on glycemic control and body composition in participants with T2DM; they concluded that an MSD is effective at reducing fasting glucose and insulin levels, HbA1c, body weight, and BMI, with additional improvements to lipid profiles [18]. Here, INS is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
