I question the population focus and it's applicability to Western, specifically American, diets. The study focused on 310 diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia. I don't think it is going out on a limb to say that there are dietary differences between the typical Saudi Arabian diet and the typical American diet, especially in the overwhelming reliance on ultra-processed, pre-packaged foods in the U.S.
Perhaps this might have more applicability to diabetic patients in Europe, specifically those who follow the Mediterranean diet due to socio-geographic reasons.
