The way we live and eat now, people in their thirties have a very good chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Cutting down carbs like bread and potatoes to just 10 percent of your diet can help people avoid developing type 2 diabetes, an expert advised.
The teacher. Joan Taylor, of De Montfort University, warned that most people are already on the road to developing diabetes in their thirties, but she said simple changes in eating habits can prevent it.
At the British Science Festival, he said cutting out foods like bread and potatoes could make people lose weight, a good thing for reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and getting glucose levels back to normal.
Professor Taylor says many people in their thirties gain weight slowly and develop metabolic syndrome, the medical term for a combination of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.
If you don’t want it, he says, less bread and fewer potatoes – and potato products – is a good remedy.
