Abstract
This paper investigates short-term improvements in diet quality after type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnosis in 225 Australian adults. Diet quality was assessed using the DASH tool. One-third of participants improved their DASH score by 3 months. Improvement was associated with lower baseline diet quality, lower BMI, higher physical activity, and less smoking.
