Whole grains linked to lower prediabetes risk

Eating whole grains is associated with a decreased risk of prediabetes, a blood sugar elevation that can precede diabetes in adults, according to new research.


Swedish residents who ate food containing more than 59 grams - roughly two ounces - of whole grains per day were 27 percent less likely to become prediabetic compared with residents who ate 30 grams or less, according to the research.


“This is of great importance because prediabetes is increasing,” lead author Tina Wirström, a postdoctoral fellow at the Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden, told Reuters Health.


The American Diabetes Association estimates that one in four Americans older than 20 have prediabetes. Nearly a quarter of people with prediabetes eventually develop full-blown diabetes.
