It’s not that difficult people. The vast majority of new cases of diabetes in those over 65 years of age can be prevented by adhering to common sense practices. Maintain a low fat diet, get off your duff every day and walk, and don’t let yourself get fat. Does it require government takeover of the health care industry, purchasing costly medicines, shopping at specialty grocery outlets, or public health officials knocking on doors? No, this comes down to choices made by adults who should know enough every day. Indeed, investigators reported in this week’s Archives of Internal Medicine that each healthy habit adopted such as regular physical activity, abstaining from tobacco, and eating high fiber foods low in refined carbohydrates decreased risk. So lighten up on lunch and dinner today and take a 30 minute walk instead plopping in the recliner to watch TV this evening.
