Adherence to an energy‐restricted Mediterranean diet is associated with the presence and burden of carotid atherosclerosis in people with type 1 diabetes

People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Mediterranean diet is associated with reduced CVD; however, the evidence in T1D is scarce. We aimed to analyse the relationships between adherence to the energy-restricted Mediterranean diet (erMEDd) and carotid atherosclerosis.
