title: Diet and diabetes.
abstract: Present evidence suggests that the most important nutritional factor bearing on the risk of development of diabetes mellitus is an excessive caloric intake. Other evidence suggests that both dietary prevention of diabetes and mitigation of hyperglycemia by dietary means can prevent morbidity and mortality from the microvascular lesions of diabetes. Diet also has potential for reducing the extent of atherosclerotic lesions associated with the disease.
