Research from Massachusetts General Hospital found that eating a healthy diet also reduced the risk of developing the disease in people with a genetic predisposition to diabetes. Genes and lifestyle factors are considered important factors in the development of type 2 diabetes and previous research reports have shown that a healthy lifestyle reduces the risk of diabetes.
