Diabetes mellitus is a public health problem that can be prevented or reduced easily without the use of severe restrictions.

a decrease in the intake of sugars (especially refined sucrose) saturated fats (found in large quantities in fast-foods and prepared dishes)

moderate physical activity (at least 30 min per day).
