Great question! Diabetes is indeed influenced by genetics, but environmental factors and lifestyle choices also play a significant role. For instance, being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help manage blood sugar levels.
That's right! In fact, according to the CDC, 80% of type 2 diabetes cases can be prevented or delayed with a healthy lifestyle. This includes maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and getting regular physical activity.
It's important to note that while genetics can play a role in developing diabetes, it doesn't mean it's inevitable. By making informed lifestyle choices, we can significantly reduce the risk. Let's continue to support each other in our diabetes management and research journey!
