How to prevent diabetes

Moving more, spending less time sitting down and more time being active is key to preventing and managing type 2 diabetes. It could be a brisk walk around the park, playing a sport in the garden, or doing an online exercise class. Or it could be getting up from your seat and doing more around the house, such as vacuuming and tidying. Even moving a little more makes a big difference. Moving more can reduce your blood pressure, help you lose weight, improve your mood and your sleep.
