Adhering to a healthy dietary pattern is a highly effective strategy to reduce your risk of Type 2 Diabetes. The evidence is very strong: people who follow a healthy dietary pattern have a significantly lower risk of developing the disease. Focus on whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limit processed foods.
