In fact there are six easy steps you can start taking today to keep diabetes at:

1.   Eat a healthy, balanced diet and avoid processed foods and sugar (also steer clear of artificially sweetened foods and drinks). Focus on eating plenty fresh fruit and vegetables, and try to follow a Mediterranean Diet as far as possible — rich in healthy saturated fats, fish (omega-3s), whole grains,  fruits, vegetables, legumes and olive oil.

2.   If you’re overweight, lose weight and make every effort to maintain a healthy weight… a low glycaemic load diet is one of the best ways to achieve this.

3.   If you smoke, stop. Quitting smoking is the single most important thing you can do for your health.

4.   Drink alcohol in moderation, and make red wine a favourite tipple. Resveratrol, a compound found in red grape skins, is a well-known powerful antioxidant and a real anti-ageing superstar. It can boost your brain power, protect your eyes and your heart, and it could help to prevent cancer, too. Recent research concluded that resveratrol significantly reduced fasting glucose, insulin, haemoglobin A1c and insulin resistance levels in participants with diabetes.

5.   Take plenty of regular exercise. Not many of us like to hear this, but it’s a hard truth: Regular exercise helps prevent heart disease, it lowers blood pressure, reduces stress and the risk of stroke and heart attack… and since type 2 diabetics are up to five times more likely to develop heart disease or stroke than healthy people, the benefits of exercise are obvious. It will also help you to lose those extra pounds and maintain a healthy weight.

6. avoid all sugar & sugary  drinks, using a high fat (olive oil, coconut oil, avocado ovoiding vegetrable oil), medium protein and low carbohydrdate diet

Look into mild and high pressure hyperbaric chambers. Mild pressure is safer, cheaper and easier as there is no requirement for the vessel to be licensed or built by a pressure vessel engineer. However once you increase the O2 level, you increase the risks.
