The findings of this one suggest that the dietary management of patients with diabetes is deteriorating in tandem with the rise in diabetes prevalence in the US, and that a heathy dietary pattern may be inversely associated with all-cause and heart diseases mortality.

- This study examined the prevalence of diabetes in the general US population, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, as well as the trends in dietary patterns by diabetes diagnoses over the previous decades...

...while investigating the connection between dietary patterns and long-term mortality.

- The prevalence of diabetes was found to increase among US adults over the last decade.

- Healthy eating index (HEI) scores of all three examined groups presented a downward trend in recent years.

- Participants with undiagnosed diabetes were more likely to have a lower HEI score in comparison to participants with diagnosed diabetes.

- Compared with participants without diabetes, participants in the undiagnosed or diagnosed diabetes group had higher dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores.

- Survival analysis suggested an association between HEI scores and all-cause mortality and mortality from heart diseases.

- Similarly, higher DII scores were associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality and mortality from heart diseases.
