Patient empowerment and the Mediterranean diet as a possible tool to tackle prediabetes associated with overweight or obesity: a pilot study.

This is of considerable importance, given that diet must be the cornerstone of treatment in patients at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. PMID: 30644069 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
