Eating the right foods and adopting other lifestyle behaviours that promote healthy blood sugar and insulin levels will give you the best chance at avoiding diabetes.

It's never too late to start! Harvard Medical experts share Diabetes prevention tips 

Changing your lifestyle could be a big step toward diabetes prevention and it's never too late to start. Consider these tips to prevent diabetes. 

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas do not produce enough insulin
Raised blood sugar&nbsp;is a consequence of uncontrolled diabetes
Being active and eating a healthy diet&nbsp;can help prevent diabetes
ADA recommends prediabetes people to&nbsp;lose 7% to 10% of their body weight
Try to get at least&nbsp;30 minutes of physical activity&nbsp;5 days a week
Diet should include smaller portions along with&nbsp;less fat and sugar
Limit red and processed meat&nbsp;and opt for fish instead
High levels of nicotine&nbsp;decrease the effectiveness of insulin
&nbsp;

Keeping weight in check, being active and eating a healthy diet can help prevent most cases of diabetes.

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that may require lifelong treatment. It occurs either when the pancreas do not produce enough insulin (the hormone that regulates blood sugar) or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Raised blood sugar is a consequence of uncontrolled diabetes and if left untreated it can cause serious health conditions.

Eating the right foods and adopting other&nbsp;lifestyle behaviours that promote healthy blood sugar and insulin levels will give you the best chance at avoiding diabetes. Here are some ways to lower your risk of diabetes, as suggested by Harvard Medical experts.
Manage your weight
Excess fat promotes inflammation and insulin resistance, which significantly increases the risk of diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with prediabetes should lose at least 7% to 10% of their body weight to prevent disease progression.
Stay active
Performing physical activity on a regular basis may help prevent diabetes. Working your muscles more often and making them work harder improves their ability to use insulin and absorb glucose. Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week.
Tune-up your diet
Dietary changes can have a huge impact on the risk of diabetes. Your diet should include smaller portions along with less fat and sugar. Eat a variety of foods from each food group, including plenty of whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Limit red and processed meat and opt for fish instead.
Quit smoking
Do you know smokers are roughly 50 percent more likely to develop diabetes than non-smokers? According to the U.S.&nbsp;FDA, smoking makes managing the disease and regulating insulin levels more difficult. The high levels of nicotine decrease the effectiveness of insulin, causing smokers to need more insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.

A long-term study finds that 37 per cent of men and 18 per cent of women are prediabetic at the age of 18, even when half of them are underweight.

Are Indians just born with a higher diabetes risk at birth?

India is the world capital of both early-life undernutrition and type 2 diabetes. New study probes into why diabetes is so common in India.

1 in 10 Indian children are prediabetic, 1% already diabetic: 2019 survey
GFX// Why is diabetes so common among the Indian population?
Study follows diabetic markers of 700 Pune&nbsp;families for 35 years
Women&nbsp;before, during, and after pregnancy and their children tracked
37% men, 18% women were&nbsp;prediabetic&nbsp;by 18, even when half underweight
Growth failure in womb linked to higher risk for diabetes markers
GFX// Poor pancreas growth in foetus -&gt; Poorly functioning adult pancreas -&gt; Harder to cope with demands of increasing age
GFX// Signals for future glucose intolerance Smaller birth size Maternal pregnancy hyperglycaemia Higher glycemia from childhood
The screening age should be lowered from 30 to 25 years
Must focus on&nbsp;maternal nutrition&nbsp;as a preventative measure

In an effort to understand why diabetes is so common in India, scientists embarked on the&nbsp;Pune Maternal Nutrition Study in&nbsp;1993 which tracked 700 families for over three decades.

India is the world capital of both&nbsp;early-life undernutrition and type 2 diabetes.&nbsp;A 2019 UNICEF survey found that nearly 1 in 10 children (aged 5 to 9)&nbsp;were&nbsp;pre-diabetic and 1 per cent are already diabetic&nbsp;in the country.&nbsp;
Why is diabetes so common among the Indian population?&nbsp;&nbsp;
In an effort to understand this, scientists embarked on the&nbsp;Pune Maternal Nutrition Study in&nbsp;1993 which tracked 700 families for over three decades. The study, now published&nbsp;in&nbsp;Diabetes Care, a journal of the American Diabetes Association, tracked women before, during, and after pregnancy as well as their children who are now&nbsp;adults.&nbsp;

They found that&nbsp;37 per cent of men and 18 per cent of women&nbsp;were prediabetic&nbsp;at the age of 18, even when half of them were underweight.&nbsp;In fact, signs of elevated glucose levels were visible even at&nbsp;ages 6 and 12.&nbsp;
Looking backwards, the team concluded that&nbsp;sub-optimal growth in the womb leads&nbsp;to higher&nbsp;levels of risk factors for diabetes from early childhood.&nbsp;The findings suggest a cycle of&nbsp;poor growth of the pancreas in the&nbsp;foetus&nbsp;leading&nbsp;to&nbsp;poorly functioning adult pancreas, making&nbsp;it harder for the person to cope with demands of increasing age.&nbsp;&nbsp;
They said that smaller birth size, maternal pregnancy hyperglycaemia, and higher glycemia from childhood could all signal&nbsp;future glucose intolerance.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In the end, the team&nbsp;recommends lowering the screening age for diabetes from 30 to 25 years and suggests focussing on maternal nutrition&nbsp;as a preventative measure.
