TYPE 2 DIABETES
The mean diet-related GHGEs in this study ranged between 1.7 and 1.9 tonnes COThe overall lack of consistency in diet-related GHGEs across the mentioned studies highlights that large variation in diet-related GHGEs exists, both within and between different populations. Despite diet-related GHGEs being heavily impacted by different dietary habits [When considering possible improvements to the HAPPY intervention to generate dietary change to reduce diet-related GHGEs, an increased focus on the environmental impact of food is likely needed. This could be achieved by, for example, including facts on foods low and high in GHGEs alongside those currently included, or providing an estimate of the total GHGEs within the recipe section in order to improve awareness and familiarity with the topic. In addition, including multiple components could be considered. For instance, a multi-component intervention – consisting of a group workshop and a 12-week app-based program – was evaluated in a randomized controlled trial in people with Type 2 diabetes in Spain, with a mean age of 60.6 years [
