I can't answer this question for you, but some life-style factors which I think will help you avoid getting it are provided below:
- 5-10g of vitamin D daily (assuming you're talking about type 1 diabetes) - type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease, and vitamin D plays a huge role in regulating our immune systems. In fact, type 1 diabetes is more prevalent for those who move from warmer countries to colder ones where there's less sunlight that those who do the opposite.
- Exercise: probably the single best thing you can do for your brain and body, and does a wonder in regulating the immune system and helps out many with not just diabetes, but with a ton of other disorders and the higher intensity the exercise, the better. Exercise which increases your VO(2) max here is the best - both strength training and interval training are highly effective.
- Minimally processed and ketogenic diet: avoid foods which have sugar or high-fructose corn-syrup on the ingredients list. In fact, in my case, I try to avoid any foods with more than 5 ingredients and try to stick to mostly a plant based and keto diet (this definitely helps with type 2 diabetes). Also avoid high-glycemic index foods (high-glycemic here means ability to 'spike' sugar and you can find the glycemic index of most foods through a simple good search. More info on this index: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index ).
- Take a teaspoon with turmeric + black-pepper daily: 'Clinical trials and preclinical research have recently produced compelling data to demonstrate the crucial functions of curcumin against T2DM via several routes. Accordingly, this review systematically summarizes the antidiabetic activity of curcumin, along with various mechanisms. Results showed that effectiveness of curcumin on T2DM is due to it being anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-apoptotic, anti-hyperlipidemia and other activities. In light of these results, curcumin may be a promising prevention/treatment choice for T2DM.' - Source: https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202404.1926/v1

- Intermittent fasting (and staying lean): assuming that you're attempting to avoid type 2 diabetes, there's great evidence that IF (intermittent fasting) can put it in remission: https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2022/i...
