If I consume very less sugary foods, will that help me reduce the chances of getting diabetes? What must I do to avoid getting diabetes?

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. To prevent progressing towards diabetes apart from taking healthy food it is essential to maintain normal weight. In your case with a BMI 29.89 kgs/M2 (Normal < 23 kgs/M2) you are already towards grade 1 obesity. That is an invitation to diabetes. Thanks.
