How To Prevent Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 Diabetes is also known as Adult Onset Diabetes, Non-insulin Dependent Diabetes, and commonly as “Sugar.”

From the resources I consulted, I figured that Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or at least delayed by following the following tips.

  1. Maintain a healthy weight.
  2. Exercise regularly: Moderate level (brisk walking, cycling, etc.), 5 days a week for 30 minuets each day.
  3. Decrease your intake of fat and calories.

It seems to me that diabetes is best prevented or kept well under control. The reason is that this condition over time can damage our nerves and blood vessels, and causing other ailments and disabilities as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, nerve problems, gum infections, and may even necessitate amputation.

Quite scary, I’m gonna begin exercising from today itself!
