While it cannot be cured completely, diabetes can be managed, to a large extent, by eating a healthy diet, exercising and leading a healthy lifestyle. Diet and physical activity are the cornerstones of good diabetes management, for all types of diabetes as well as for people at risk. Diabetes is no obstacle to living a full and productive life.
