i wouldn't say type 2 diabetes is 100% preventable because we know it can run in families. that said type 2 diabetes is highly preventable because it's mainly linked to obesity a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet. those three factors all can be influenced by the individual. while it's possible a thin athletic person could develop type 2 diabetes it would be considered unusual. to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes it's important to eat a balanced diet that includes lean meat plenty of fruits and vegetables whole grains and heart-healthy fats (such as olive oil). you also should exercise regularly and you don't even have to exercise particularly vigorously. simply engaging in moderate physical activity (brisk walking) at least 5 times a week can be enough. lastly watch your weight. if you're overweight reduce your calorie intake and/or increase your exercise level. obesity is perhaps the leading factor in developing type 2 diabetes. obviously no one should start an exercise regimen without consulting their primary care provider. this is especially true of anyone who health conditions like high blood pressure or high cholesterol. hope this helps!
