New research from the University of Miami ha shown that exercise and  a strict diet taken over a number of years can reduce or curtail the onset of diabetes.

One lady who took part in the University study when it started 10 years ago was overweight and pre-diabetic.

Ten years on, she is 16 kilos lighter, has no trace of diabetes, and her cholesterol readings are excellent.

The study concluded that those who maintained the strict diet and exercise for 10 years reduced their diabetes risk by 34%. They also had lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels and took fewer drugs.

Dr Goldberg of the University of Miami said ” It demonstrates that lifestyle changesv can last as long as10 years in preventing or slowing diabetes in people who are at risk”
