Overweight (OW) duration and diet affect glucose levels. We examined whether diet modified the effect of OW duration on fasting glucose and having impaired fasting glucose or type 2 diabetes (IFG/DM: FG>;=110mg/dL) in 1,887 women (ages 35–68y) in the 2005 Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. OW (BMI>;=25kg/m2) duration was categorized as >;=10 y (25%), < 10 y (17%), had a history but not currently OW (10%) and never OW (48%). Using factor analysis, we identified 3 diet patterns: meats/sweets, vegetables/grains, and processed seafoods. Mean FG was 99.6 mg/dL; 14% had IFG/DM. For FG, linear regression results showed significant interaction between OW duration and the meats/sweets pattern (LR test p<0.04). OW duration was not significantly associated with FG among women who consumed low meats/sweets (lowest quartile): 1.6 (−10.1, 13.2) [COEFF (95% CI)] for women OW <10 yrs and 2.6 (−10.8,15.9) for women OW >;10yrs. For women who consumed higher amounts of meats/sweets, compared to never OW women, FG was 4.5 (− 2.0,11.4) and 18.8 (11.0, 26.5) mg/dL higher for women OW < 10y and OW >;=10y, respectively. Similarly, we found increased effect of OW duration on having IFG/DM among women who consumed greater meats/sweets. Results underscore the benefit of controlling meats and sweets consumption, especially among those who have been chronically OW. R01TW008288
