Diabetes avoidance: The three elements you mentioned will help you to avoid manifestations and minimize the effects of the disease on your body if you have the genetics that make you a diabetic. You can have diabetes and extend out the time and the degree of the effect on your organs : heart, blood vessels, brain and kidneys. Do as you have written and you will do well.
