Yes,to a large degre: Your lifestyle is a major facor in causing diabetes and to some degree high bp. If you eat less, exercise regularly and keep your weigth in a healthy range, you can markedly reduce the risk of deveolping diabetes. Similarly you can decrease your risk of high BP by stress reduction, by daily exercise and misimising use of table salt.
