An intensive, individualized lifestyle intervention combining moderate-intensity physical activity and a diet reducing saturated fat and total energy intake significantly reduces the incidence of type 2 diabetes in high-risk individuals with impaired glucose tolerance.

If you are overweight and have impaired glucose tolerance, you can significantly lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by making specific lifestyle changes. Focus on losing more than 5% of your body weight, eating a diet with less than 30% of calories from fat (and less than 10% from saturated fat), and getting at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every day. Individualized counseling and support can help you achieve these goals.
