How can diet help prevent type 2 diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not just diet: But diet and exercise to lose weight or keep lean. It's because obesity leads to Insulin resistance which is 70-90% of what leads to type 2 diabetes. You can't control the other risk factors of age and family history, but you can control your weight.
