These are my top 4 suggestions on how to avoid diabetes. - Limit or cut out refined sugars/carbs- overtime, eating too much sugars and simple carbs can cause our body to become resistant to insulin (the hormone that helps get glucose (sugar) into our cells for energy). - Exercise- this increases insulin sensitivity which helps our body to get glucose into our cells This is especially important for people with sedentary jobs- it's important to find ways to be physically active
