Let's say you’re overweight -- enough to make you nervous about type 2 diabetes.Maybe you've tried to diet but can't lose weight, or you’re dieting now
but have yet to shed pounds. Maybe you've even been told you have
pre-diabetes. Should you just curl up with a doughnut and wait for the
big D (diabetes) to arrive? No way.
Besides maintaining a healthy weight, four factors keep diabetes at bay. If you combine any three of them, it's like throwing up a force shield between you and diabetes. The combination is more protective than the individual parts, a new fact that's startled even the experts.
It gets better: If you combine all four, you'll start losing weight without half trying! What are the four steps?

It gets better: If you combine all four, you'll start losing weight without half trying! What are the four steps?
- Walk 30 minutes a day. Start slowly if you need to, but start. Add a few more steps every day.
- Drink alcohol lightly. Consume no more than two drinks a day for men, one for women.
- Eat smart. Enjoy lots of fruits and veggies, plenty of 100% whole grains, very lean protein, a little low-fat or no-fat dairy, some nuts, and a bit of dark chocolate.
- Don’t smoke.
