Core Tip: The onset and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is influenced by complex interrelationships between genetic and dietary factors. Indeed, a number of nutrigenetic studies have identified significant gene-diet interactions related to T2DM predisposition, nutrient metabolic status, and dietary intervention responsiveness. Moreover, this knowledge has motivated the interest for the design and implementation of genotype-based dietary strategies for improving glycemic outcomes compared to conventional nutritional advice. Although more investigation is required, these insights may help to explain disease phenotype heterogeneity, with relevance in precision nutrition for the personalized prevention and clinical management of T2DM.
