Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) might decrease risk of type 2 diabetes in Asians, and plasma phospholipids n-3 PUFA were positively associated with insulin sensitivity in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients. Prospective study in Europe and the United States found that the intake of fish and n-3 PUFA intake increased the risk of type 2 diabetes, the Western Caucasian n-3 PUFA acid randomized controlled trials found that n-3 PUFA could not improve insulin resistance and blood sugar levels, and n-3 PUFA even slightly reduced the patient's insulin sensitivity. This paper summarised the current insight of the relatioship between dietary n-3 PUFA intake and type 2 diabetes risk.
