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. 

Healthy eating:

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.  Lets us show you how!
