The best way to prevent development of type 2 diabetes is to attain a normal body weight;decreasing portion sizes would help decrease energy intake,resulting in weight loss.Increasing intake of dietary fiber would be of some benefit in increasing satiety;high-fiber foods generally tend to be lower in fat and energy,and so increasing their intake may be of some benefit,but it is possible to increase fiber intake without decreasing energy intake.High sugar intake does not cause type 2 diabetes,unless it causes weight gain.Switching to a vegetarian pattern of eating may not be beneficial and could even cause further weight gain if the diet includes a lot of eggs and cheese;a vegan eating pattern would probably help with weight loss and decrease risk for type 2 diabetes.
