I recently learned that both of my parents are close to becoming diabetic. My dad was told he is glucose intolerant or boderline diabetic. My mom had a test come back positive for diabetes prior to her recent surgery to remove her gallbladder and she will take another test for diabetes in a few months. Both of my parents are in their late forties and I am 26, but I want to make changes now so that I don’t have to deal with these issues in the future. I work out fairly regularly, I’m not overweight, and I don’t eat red meat or pork. What else can I do to prevent becoming diabetic?

Is age a factor? How about just one of your parents having it? Do they both have to have it in order for you to get it too?
And what are some of the most common signs you may have diabetes? Like what should you be on the look out for?
I’m just kind of confused over the whole the so I’d like for someone to maybe shine some light on it.

Why is it that the vegetarian diet reduces the chances of developing diabetes, whereas a meat-based diet may contain fewer starches/sugars?
