Diabetes, a chronic condition, disrupts blood sugar regulation, potentially leading to complications like heart disease, nerve damage, and vision problems, necessitating careful management and lifestyle adjustments. Here are the 6 ways that may help prevent diabetes before it starts.

1. Cut sugar and refined carbohydrates from your diet

Eating foods high in refined carbohydrates and sugar increases blood sugar and insulin levels, which may lead to diabetes over time.

2. Watch your portions

Avoiding large portion sizes can help reduce insulin and blood sugar levels and decrease the risk of diabetes. Eating too much food at one time has been shown to cause higher blood sugar and insulin levels in people at risk of diabetes.

3. Drink supplement that rich in Colostrum

Taking bovine colostrum before a meal might help to reduce blood sugar levels after a meal in people with diabetes. It may also lower cholesterol levels.

4. Eat fiber

Getting plenty of fiber is beneficial for gut health and weight management. Consuming a good fiber source at each meal can help prevent spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels, which may help reduce your risk of developing diabetes. 

5. Aim for 30

Try to be intentionally active by taking a walk, dancing, lifting weights or swimming for 30 minutes, five days per week. If you get no or very little physical activity—and you sit during most of your day—then you lead a sedentary lifestyle, and it’s time to get moving. 

6. Drink water

Drinking water instead of other beverages may help control blood sugar and insulin levels, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes. Sticking with water most of the time helps you avoid beverages that are high in sugar, preservatives and other unneeded ingredients.
