Good article on Diabetes
This is one of the best articles I've seen to summarize pre-diabetes and diabetes. It's good to read if you have any of the risk factors like being overweight, and how to change your lifestyle to keep diabetes away. Or if you're helping someone else try to prevent it.
Since I had gestational diabetes and one priming incident that pushed me into pre-diabetes, this article illustrates why I take such care with my diet and exercise even though I'm not overweight. I watched one of my obese grandparents deal with the complications, and there is no way I want to go there.
One easy thing I do: pass on restaurant meals, especially if I need to exercise instead. The most difficult part is getting the exercise in, because of how much I'm trying to do in a day. There just aren't enough hours.
