Contemporary diabetes research has proven that some types of diabetes can be prevented. Major studies show that people at high risk for type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of this potentially fatal disease by losing five to seven percent of their body weight. Adopting a healthy diet and getting 30 minutes of physical activity five days per week are two simple ways to avoid developing diabetes and its many long-term complications. Here are just a few basic tips to help you get started:

• Eat refined carbohydrates
• Eat breakfast every day
• Choose healthy snacks
• Skip or share dessert
• Walk rather than ride
• Take the stairs
• Keep moving
• Keep busy
• Track your progress
• Reward yourself in healthy ways
