Over 37 million Americans are living with diabetes, and more than 90% have Type 2. This condition develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin — the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar. The good news? It can often be prevented or delayed. Regular physical activity, balanced meals, and maintaining a healthy weight are key. Even a 5%–10% reduction in body weight can drastically lower your risk of developing diabetes.
Monitoring your blood sugar levels and avoiding sugary beverages are crucial steps. Making gradual, sustainable changes leads to long-term success.
Stay physically active (at least 150 minutes/week).
Choose whole grains and lean proteins.
If you have prediabetes, consult your healthcare provider early. Lifestyle adjustments now can prevent complications later.
