diabetes has two types
insulin dependent diabetes is attributed to a strong family history of insulin dependent diabetes while they were still very young. This is associated with viral diseases like adenovirus that cause destruction of beta islet cells which is responsible forinsulin production. Some autoimmune disease that your own self protein act as forein to your body hence your body will produce an antibody specific to that protein and cause damage to the pancreatic islet cells. Can you prevent this, no, once you have this viral infection it will continually deplete your insulin production capability hence the firdt type would end in the emergency room.
the non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus occur in much older people as compared to the first one. Here the person form a resistance to the effect of insulin hence eventhough that person produces adequate amount of insulin, the sugar will still go. There is no destruction to the islet cells of the pancreas. Other factors contributing to diabetes includes
high levels of cholesterol, hypertension, smoking habits and eating habits
can you prevent this, of course, having a healthy habit, not smoking, exercise a lot, check blood pressure regularly ===you will end up not having Non insulin diabetes mellitus

The first site tells you all about Diabetes in general. Basically it means that your pancreas can't handle sugar in your blood in the way it is supposed to. The second site talks about signs of pre-diabetes and how best to prevent it.
My best friend in high school has a sister with diabetes. She had to check her blood-sugar levels several times a day. If her blood-sugar levels were high, she'd have to give herself an injection of insulin, which is what the pancreas is supposed to make on its own, but for some reason it can't.
My aunt got diabetes 2 while on a medication that has now been proved to cause poor pancreas function, which led to her developing the diabetes 2.

diabetes is basically the way your body tells you, you ate to much. Or it can be due to chemical malfunctions, or just the pancreas not working properly. You can take steps to prevent diabetes by not becoming over-weight, eating foods low in sugar, cutting off the sugary drink intake, and excerise. If its inherited then you might get it know matter what.

Maintaining a healthy weight and losing weight to reach a healthy body weight greatly reduce the risk for diabetes. Studies have shown that those with pre-diabetes or glucose intolerance, greatly lessen their risk of diabetes if they maintain a healthy body weight. Proper diet and exercise are essential in keeping a healthy body weight.
Eating small meals throughout the day is often healthier than eating a few large meals daily. Blood sugars are more likely to become unstable in the body when food is not consumed regularly such as every four to six hours. While eating sugar does not cause diabetes, eating too much sugary and starchy food can lead to weight gain and poor health, so better food choices are necessary in lessening the risk factors for diabetes.
Poor eating habits such as consuming too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a risk factor for diabetes. Those taking medications for high blood pressure should be sure to take them regularly and eat a low sodium diet in order to lessen their risk for diabetes.
High cholesterol has also been associated with diabetes. The types and amounts of fats should be carefully monitored both to prevent weight gain and high cholesterol counts. Daily exercise such as walking briskly is important to lessen the risk of diabetes by maintaining a proper body weight.
Discussing your risk for diabetes and ways to prevent the disease with your doctor is a good idea. You should also have your doctor's approval for an appropriate exercise and diet plan. You should also notify your doctor if you experience any symptoms of diabetes such as increased thirst, increased urination, increased hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, slow-healing sores and a tendency to become tired more easily than normal.

Years ago before insulin people just died from it. Then they said it was hereditary. Then they said a virus attacked the pancreas which is one like it. The root of the disease is self-hatred, self-rejection coupled with guilt and also fear, anxiety and stress. You have the spirit of fear and an unloving spirit to deal with for this autoimmune disease. The body itself litterally attacked the pancreas. I believe the fear, anxiety and stress disorder was inherited and came down ancestrally.
I know you think I'm crazy, I don't care, my daughter just had a pancreas and kidney transplant and now the medical community tells us this and I can definitely see it. My daughter disliked herself because she was not normal. The spirit of fear was inherited from her grandmother because my mother suffered with phobias that could have been dealt with if I had known this.
There are 3 things that you must do. You must have
1. Peace with God
2. Peace with yourself
3. Peace with others
Without these 3 men and women suffer greatly every day that they live.
