US experts suggest that diet and exercise may keep type 2 diabetes at bay for at least 3 years.
The “Diabetes Prevention Program” study, carried out on 3234 overweight, glucose-tolerance impaired 25-85 year olds, showed that lifestyle intervention reduced the risk of developing diabetes. The participants also lost 5-7% bodyweight while following the program that included a low-fat diet and exercise.
