Hi Raguraman, Genetically we cant do much but we can prevent diabetes due to environmental factors. Lifestyle modification is the only thing you can prevent and postpone diabetes however high risk family you are from.Eat less walk more....You can prevent diabetes and postpone it effectively. Our study research clearly shows this. Start walking from today With regards, Dr.Suresh

The first and the foremost is to do regular exercise. Along with this , Yoga , Meditation will help a lot not only in weight management but also to live a life without stress , as stress , nowadays is the leading cause of most of the diseases. Secondly , a diet rich in fibre is very useful , it not only prevents us from diabetes , but also relieves from various gastrointestinal diseases. Fat intake should be greatly reduced, esp. the junk food. These are some changes in the lifestyle which can help to reduce the increasing incidence of diabetes. Regular screening should be done in persons above 40 yrs. so that the disease can be controlled at a very early stage.

As of late 2006, although there are many claims of nutritional cures, there is no reliable proof of their effectiveness. In addition, despite claims by some that vaccinations may cause diabetes, there are no studies proving any such connection. However, with improved diagnostic support, diabetics can join all kinds of activities. more details i found here http://diabetes.personal-health-guide.com

I guess the only thing that we can do is to spread information to as many people around. I guess the kind of lifestyle that we do have nowadays wherein the food are becoming more and more tastier and sweeter. There are less and less that promote eating vegetables and fruits. Many food businesses do make profits in processing foods with many sweeteners which the consumers love to eat. i guess the best way to prevent it is by information campaign against this kind of foods being offered today that increases the numbers of diabetic.
