I recently learned that just because you are at risk for diabetes (have pre-diabetes), doesn't mean you are going to get diabetes. You can make some changes to help prevent it!

I always thought that I would be doomed to get diabetes like my parents did, but with a little more exercise everyday (even walking counts!) and cutting sodas and other sugary drinks like Snapple or Gatorade out of my diet, and losing a small amount of weight I can prevent myself from getting diabetes!

I never knew how bad for you sugary drinks are- I was never much of a soda drinker, but thought Snapple was fine- but turns out that has a lot of sugar in it too!

Hopefully when I start increasing the amount of walking I do, I'll also be able to lose some weight. I think this is something I can prevent - wish me luck!
