Prevention of Diabetes Mellitus
This document discusses ways to prevent diabetes, including maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It defines diabetes and pre-diabetes, and explains that pre-diabetes means blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetic range. Lifestyle changes like regular physical activity and modest weight loss through diet and exercise can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program study found that losing just 5-10% of body weight through diet and exercise lowered the risk of diabetes by 58%. Keeping a food and activity log can help achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
