In the October issue of AARP Bulletin, Peter Jaret has an article on how to prevent, delay, and manage diabetes entitled "Eight Facts About Diabetes That Could Save Your Life". Here are his eight facts:

1. Genes determine some - but not all - of your risk.
2. Classic heart disease risk factors also raise your risk.
3. Not everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight or obese.
4. Risk rises with age - but it's never too late to make healthy changes.
5. The more you move, the better.
6. The healthiest foods for preventing type 2 diabetes don't come with nutrition labels.
7. Easing stress can lower your risk of diabetes.
8. It's up to you.
