How to keep away from diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lower the risk: Hi. It is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of diabetes. Genetics plays a role, and you can't change your genes. There is no way to lower risk of type 1, other than some experimental means. Risk of type 2 can be reduced by living a healthy lifestyle with healthy diet, lifelong regular exercise, and maintenance of ideal body weight.
