A large Spanish trial found that older adults at risk of diabetes who followed a Mediterranean diet, reduced calories, and exercised were 31% less likely to develop the disease. The study adds to evidence supporting diet, activity, and weight loss in preventing diabetes.

Mediterranean Diet Reduces Diabetes Risk, Study Shows By Nina Agrawal Aug. 25, 2025 Powerful new evidence suggests that following the Mediterranean diet while also cutting calories and increasing physical activity reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes. A large randomized trial in Spain found that older adults at risk of diabetes who followed that diet, reduced their caloric intake and exercised regularly were 31 percent less likely to develop the disease after six years, compared with those who just followed the Mediterranean diet. The diet emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, olive oil and fish. The findings build on results from an earlier, related trial, which found that participants who simply followed a Mediterranean diet were 30 percent less likely to develop diabetes than those who followed only a low-fat diet. (In that trial participants did not restrict calories, increase physical activity or experience weight loss.) The study, published Mon...
