[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 238872, member: 43589"] Probably the biggest thing you can do as a parent to prevent type II diabetes, is encourage your child to exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Hard exercise will use a lot of glucose stored in the body and bring those insulin levels way down. Obesity is one of the biggest contributors to type II diabetes. Another thing to consider, over 75% of children with type 2 diabetes have a close relative who has it, either due to genetics or shared lifestyle habits. So model a healthy life style as a parent. Encourage your child to eat fresh fruit in moderation (25–40 g/d.), its loaded with nutrients. Fructose does not acutely raise blood glucose. As such, fructose has a lower glycemic index than do starch-based foods, and it has been used as an energy source in diabetes patients because it may aid glycemic control.
