New research has identified the three eating habits that contribute most to cases of type 2 diabetes. Obesity is one of the biggest driving factors for developing the blood sugar condition that impacts insulin levels.
Now, poor diet has also been linked to the rising global number of cases. Analysis by scientists at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University examined dietary patterns of 184 countries, referring to data between 1990 and 2018 - and it's bad news for lovers of bacon sarnies.
Findings published on Tuesday in journal Nature Medicine considered 11 dietary factors and three were found to be the main culprits of growing cases. These were the overconsumption of processed meat, insufficient intake of whole grains and eating too much refined wheat.
