Introduction and objective:
Carbohydrate metabolism disorders are among the most severe health problems worldwide and, therefore, solutions that improve their prevention are constantly being sought. An appropriate diet, such as the planetary health diet the assumptions of which are similar to dietary models proposed for the prevention of type 2 diabetes, may play a significant role in its prevention. The aim of the study is a review the literature on the potential application of the planetary diet in the prevention of carbohydrate metabolism disorders.

Review methods:
The literature review involved searching for terms: „Planetary health diet” OR „EAT Lancet” AND „diabetes” OR „diet diabetes” OR „glucose” OR „insulin resistance” in the PubMed database from November 2023 – September 2024.

Brief description of the state of knowledge:
According to numerous studies, the higher the compliance with the planetary diet the lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The diet had a beneficial effect on blood glucose levels, blood pressure values, various cholesterol fractions, and body weight. The most important factors were the appropriate consumption of added sugars, red meat, fish, dairy, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, and legumes.

Summary:
In conclusion, the planetary diet may effectively prevent carbohydrate metabolism disorders, particularly type 2 diabetes. It may contribute to improved insulin sensitivity, beta-cells function in the pancreas, and reduced severity of inflammation. This dietary model also supports maintaining normal body weight, which is fundamental for preventing metabolic disorders.
