Exactly what Kev said, my dad was diagnosed but haven't dealt with it since he changed his eating habits and lifestyle.

Theres a few things I do to avoid Diabetes, my blood pressure is consistently low as well is my cholesterol.. I don't drink soda and I don't eat fried foods. Simple as that, I don't even exercise all that often but I manage to avoid health issues by maintaining a decent diet. Don't get me wrong though.. I am forever a sucker for Papa Johns.
