Objective(1) Determine the relationship between dietary flavonoid-rich fruit and vegetable consumption on diabetes-related biomarkers (e.g., HgbA1c) and diabetic retinopathy.MethodsData from 381 participants with diabetes from the NHANES 2003-2006 were analyzed. Blood samples were taken to measure C-reactive protein (CRP), HgbA1C, and fasting glucose and insulin. Diabetic retinopathy was assessed from a retinal imaging exam. A high-flavonoid fruit and vegetable consumption (HFVC) index variable was created from a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).ResultsAfter adjustments, greater HFVC was associated (p < 0.05) with lower levels of CRP (β = â 0.005), HgbA1C (β = â 0.005) and glucose (β = â 0.59), with greater HFVC reducing the odds of having diabetic retinopathy by 30%.ConclusionAdults with diabetes consuming more flavonoid-rich fruits and vegetables had lower degrees of inflammation, better glycemic control, and reduced odds of diabetic retinopathy.
