Diabetes is a disease in which the body doesn’t produce or respond properly to insulin, a hormone essential for daily life.
You can prevent yourself from diabetes just by making few lifestyle changes that we are suggesting:

1. Eat a diet rich in complex carbohydrates(whole grain bread, fruits etc) and high fiber food and low sodium and fat diet.
2. Eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants to prevent damage to the body cells.
3. Avoid alcohol.
4. Keep your weight down. Weight loss for those who are overweight can sometimes decrease or eliminate the need for insulin or oral drugs. For individuals at high risk of developing type2 diabetes , losing just half the pounds needed to reach their ideal weight can prevent the onset of diabetes.
5. Exercise regularly. Regular vigorous aerobic exercise reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes in men and women.
