"It isn't about living better sometimes...it's about livingWELL anywhere for a lifetime"
Changing your lifestyle could be a big step toward diabetes prevention — and it's never too late to start!
Tip 1: Get more physical activity
There are many benefits to regular physical activity. Exercise can help you:
-
Lose weight
-
Lower your blood sugar
-
Boost your sensitivity to insulin — which helps keep your blood sugar within a normal range
Research shows that both aerobic exercise and resistance training can help control diabetes, but the greater benefit comes from a fitness program that includes both.
If you're overweight, diabetes prevention may hinge on weight loss. Every pound you lose can improve your health.
Tip 2: Skip fad diets that can derail progress and focus on making healthier choices.

When you think of managing blood sugar, odds are you obsess over everything you can't have. While it's certainly important to limit no-no ingredients (like white, refined breads and pastas and fried, fatty, processed foods), it's just as crucial to pay attention to what you should eat.
