Eating healthy is important, especially when you have conditions like type 2 diabetes. A new study looked at the effects of eating beef on blood sugar regulation and diabetes risk in adults with prediabetes. The researchers found that eating 6-7 ounces of beef daily did not worsen blood sugar regulation or increase diabetes risk.

The study included 24 participants who had overweight or obesity along with prediabetes. They followed a diet plan with either cooked beef or poultry for 28 days, with a 28-day break in between. The researchers measured the participants' blood sugar levels and insulin function before and after each dietary phase.

The study's senior author, Kevin C Maki, said that the results show that eating beef as part of a healthy diet does not negatively impact blood sugar regulation or inflammation. This is important because many people with type 2 diabetes are looking for reliable nutrition guidance to manage their condition.
