The holidays cometh! A time to celebrate, go to the beach, eat too much sugar and realize you haven’t had a vegetable in three months. And if that’s the case for you, you should be warned: an unhealthy lifestyle is a leading cause of type 2 diabetes.
In fact, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1.2 million Australians had diabetes in 2017 to 2018, most of whom had type 2. So, how do you prevent yourself from getting it, especially with so many cookies and sweets out there right now? We’ll explore that question in this article.
The differences
To really understand how to prevent type 2 diabetes, you should know the differences between it and type 1.
Symptoms of diabetes
Both types of diabetes have very similar symptoms. They include:
Here are some symptoms that are unique to one type of diabetes or another:

Along with the symptoms of diabetes, there are several complications that can arise. Just keep in mind, a lot of these complications can happen without diabetes, they’re just more common with it.
These are just a few of the complications to the skin and there are ways to treat them.
Other complications include:
If you think you have any of these conditions, talk to your doctor.
Getting it under control
To manage your diabetes, you really need to work at it. For type 1, there is no cure or natural way to get rid of it. However, having a healthy, balanced lifestyle and diet can help you reduce any complications you may experience. Beyond that, it’s vital to use your prescribed insulin pump or take your prescribed injections. Counting carbs (the source of glucose) from food and drink can help you know how much insulin you need.
For type 2, take your prescribed medications. Make sure to eat healthy and exercise. For some people, developing these healthy habits can reverse the disease.
So, if you really want to celebrate the summer months and eat all the sugar you can, beware: that’s how diabetes sets in. We all splurge a little over the holidays; that’s understandable. Just make sure you’re keeping active and eating a vegetable or two. And if you want help losing weight after the holidays, check out our broad selection of weight loss vitamins at Vitamins Only.
