Article Synopsis
- African American adults with Type 2 diabetes are increasingly affected by the disease, and the connection between their diet quality and glycemic control (measured by HbA1c levels) is not well understood.
- This study analyzed data from 273 African American adults with Type 2 diabetes, using dietary recalls and blood samples to assess the impact of processed versus unprocessed foods on blood sugar levels.
- Results showed that higher consumption of ultraprocessed foods was linked to higher HbA1c levels, while a diet rich in unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with better glycemic control.
