A member asked:

How to prevent diabetics? will eating sugars and ice creams cause diabetics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid sugar: Live a healthy life and avoid sugar. That means eating a diet of a variety of healthy foods, avoiding sugar and refined starches, and getting plenty of exercise. Of course, luck plays a role too.
