A new study offers reassuring news for people concerned about red meat and its role in blood sugar and heart health. Researchers have found that eating 6–7 ounces of beef per day does not increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) or negatively impact other markers of cardiometabolic health in adults with prediabetes. More than 135 million adults in the U.S. are currently living with or at risk for type 2 diabetes. To measure how the body handled sugar and insulin, the researchers checked pancreatic β-cell function (which helps produce insulin), insulin sensitivity, and certain hormones related to blood sugar regulation. If you care about diabetes, please read studies about bananas and diabetes, and honey could help control blood sugar.
