Prediabetes diet: How to help prevent progression to diabetes

Scientists discovered a hidden protein that may improve type 2 diabetes treatment using metabolism and precision medicine. While dietary choices remain central to preventing progression, some prebiotic sodas may contain higher sugar and lower fiber levels than their labels claim. Additionally, a plant-based Planetary Health Diet shows potential for protecting heart health in post-menopausal women. These developments highlight the shift toward precision medicine and the need for caution regarding functional beverages marketed for gut health.
