Key Genetic Factors in Diabetes
TCF7L2 Gene (Transcription Factor 7-Like 2):
-
Genetic Influence: Affects insulin secretion and glucose production, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
-
Nutritional Strategy: Focus on a low-glycemic diet with whole grains, legumes, and non-starchy vegetables.
PPARG Gene (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma):
-
Genetic Influence: Influences fat storage and insulin sensitivity.
-
Nutritional Strategy: Emphasize healthy fats and a balanced diet to improve insulin sensitivity.
