Most type 2 diabetes is preventable

Unlike type 1 diabetes which is unpreventable, it is possible to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes which in most cases is linked to being overweight. This type of diabetes usually appears in people over the age of 40, though in South Asian and African-Caribbean people often appear after the age of 25. This is the more common of the two main types and accounts for between 85 and 95 per cent of all people with diabetes.

Because type 2 diabetes is linked to being overweight it is common sense to keep ones weight in check. The best way to achieve this is to stick to a sensible diet combined with an exercise regime. With our modern way of life this is not always possible but there is medication which will help a person to achieve this. It is possible to buy Xenical which works in your digestive system to block about one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested, this medication will help you on your way to your target weight and prevent the onset of diabetes.
