Type 2 diabetes symptoms: Dizzy spells could be a sign of the condition

Minimise your risk of type 2 diabetes

The charity Diabetes UK explained you can reduce your risk of the condition by “eating well” and “moving more” – but what does this mean?

Diet

“Choose drinks without added sugar,” said Diabetes UK. This means no sugar in your tea or coffee, and stay away from full-sugar fizzy drinks.

Eat whole grains, such as brown rice, wholewheat pasta, wholemeal flour, wholegrain bread and oats.

Other healthy sources of carbohydrates include: fruit and vegetables; pulses, such as chickpeas, beans and lentils; and unsweetened yoghurt and milk.
