The effects of Mediterranean diet on cardiovascular risk factors, glycemic control and weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis.

Meta-analysis showed a trend toward reducing the level of LDL (MD = -2.34; 95% CI:-5.67 to 0.99; I 2 = 13%; p = 0.17) by fixed effects model (Fig. 2 c) and increasing the level of HDL (MD = 2.33; 95% CI: -0.27 ~ 4.92; I 2 = 82%; p = 0.08) (Fig. 2 d), but the beneficial effects of Mediterranean diet compared with control diets were not statistically significant.

In this meta-analysis, although the Mediterranean diet did not reach statistical significance in terms of its effect on HDL and LDL compared to the control group, there was still a tendency to increase HDL and decrease LDL levels, as well as the Mediterranean diet reduced the levels of SBP and DBP, which fully validates that the Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of heart disease in patients with T2D.
