Eating patterns aligned with the Mediterranean or DASH diets may reduce cardiovascular disease risk in adults with Type 1 diabetes, according to findings from a six-year study led by researchers at UNLV and the University of Colorado.

Eating patterns that align with the Mediterranean diet or the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet could help lower cardiovascular disease risk in adults with type 1 diabetes, according to results from a six-year study.

Two well-known healthy diets can lower heart disease risk in people with type 1 diabetes, a new study says. People who ate similarly to the Mediterranean diet or the DASH diet had lower levels of blood markers that are used in clinical settings to assess heart health risk, researchers reported Sunday at a meeting of the American Society for Nutrition in Chicago.

For adults with type 1 diabetes, the Mediterranean and DASH diets could help reduce the risk for CVD, according to research presented at NUTRITION. Both diets emphasize plant-based foods, lean proteins, healthy fats and low intake of sugars and processed foods, Arpita Basu, PhD, RD, an associate professor in the department of kinesiology and nutrition sciences at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and colleagues reported.

Eating patterns that align with the Mediterranean diet or the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet could help lower cardiovascular disease risk in adults with type 1 diabetes, according to results from a six-year study. The DASH and Mediterranean diets are both considered heart-healthy and emphasize plant-based foods, healthy fats, lean proteins and low intake of processed foods and sugars.
