2. Full fat milk consumption was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and death in people with Type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Low fat milk consumption, on the other hand, reduced the risk of CVDs and death.

3. Increase in consumption of coffee, tea or low fat milk (versus no change in consumption) after the diagnosis of diabetes, resulted in further reduction in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and death.

4. Replacing one serving/day of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) with coffee, tea, plain water, low fat milk or ASBs resulted in 18%, 16%, 16%, 12% and 8% lower risk of all-cause death, respectively. Corresponding figures for CVD were 20%, 24%, 20%, 19% and 15%, respectively.

5. Take home messages
*Coffee, tea, low fat milk or plain water consumption is associated with lower risk of CVD and death in people with T2D,
*Greater increase in coffee and tea consumption from before to after a diabetes diagnosis is associated with lower all cause mortality,

6. Take home messages (cont'd)
Among diabetics, higher intake of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with higher all cause death & CVDs,
*Replacing SSBs with coffee, tea, or plain water is associated with lower all cause death among adults with diabetes.
