Can you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes? If you’re at risk, changes in what you eat, how much you move, and, for some people, how much weight you lose can help lower that risk. What does losing 5% to 7% of your starting weight look like? For someone who weighs 200 pounds, that’s 10 to 14 pounds. This Rehealthify guide puts that example in context and looks at everyday choices, from adjusting portion sizes and choosing whole grains to gradually building up to 30 minutes of physical activity on most days. You’ll also learn how smoking relates to insulin resistance and when to talk with your healthcare professional about other ways to lower your risk.
