Extra Weight–Lose It!
Prevention of diabetes may depend on weight loss if you are overweight. You will be surprised how much every pound lost can help improve your health. It was observed in one study that overweight adults who lost about 5% to 10% of initial body weight, fairly a modest amount of weight, and at the same time exercised regularly were able to reduce the risk of developing diabetes by about 58% over a period of three years.
Try to focus to getting permanent changes–both in your eating and exercise habits. Involving other family members helps, as well. Think about the benefits of weight loss, like having a healthier heart, being more energetic and improving your self esteem.
