Anything and everything i can do to avoid diabetes?

[Sana]

both of my parents have it!!!
please tell me anything and everything i can do to avoid diabetes.

btw i'm not overweight but i have a belly yet thin arms and legs. would sit-ups help reduce the risk?

shall i cut out carbs completely from my diet? i don't eat cakes and biscuits, but i eat pasta and oven chips.

and how does exercise reduce the risk? my BMI is about 19.7 so i'm not overweight, but will exercise still help?

i believe in alternative medicine so please do give me advice on what i can eat and drink, and what to avoid, and what to do.

you need to change your diet... look on the net for diabetic recipies... no grease fried food...you need to excersize 30 min 3X a week...... have regular Dr. checkups to check your blood sugar levels.

Yes cut out the carbs, soda soft drinks, and chocolate/candy.

That is easier said then done, i have tried. So take Chromium drop supplements 1 drop twice a day to a glass of water, this will regulate the blood sugar levels.
Also you will not be able to resist sweet foods for too long, so i reccommend you replace your sugar with Xylitol, this alkalises the body, does not need insulin to be metabolised![emphasis added], replacing refined sugar with Xylitol in it self is the best thing you can do to cut your risk of diabetes.
Xylitol tastes like sugar, looks like sugar, is sweet like sugar, used in the same proportion as sugar, but slightly more expensive, its cheap on ebay, or order it in bulk from websites.

Cut out the wholegrain bread and white bread. Go to mercola.com or youtube video:

Eat sprouted grain bread, no wheat, and lots of nutrients, less carbs. You can buy this from healthfood stores, or ask your local bakery.

Cinnamen, or Celantra, acts like insulin, regulates blood sugar levels, as does Bittermelon, officially prescribed in the Phillapines healthcare system.

Look into Hulda Clarks book 'Cure for all diseases', she believ diabetes is caused by a pathogenic microbe, her video is one google video as well. Hulda Clark is not a quack, alot of people are insulting her, her work will only be realised once she's dead mny years from now.
