Hi Neha,
You can lead a normal life without the worry of diabetes by leading a healthy lifestyle. You should try to be physically active by doing some exercises daily, get rid of stress and eating healthy. You can have sweets and chocolates but, in moderation.
As it is said prevention is better than cure. In case of diabetes running in your family, you can do little other than taking preventive steps. You can be careful of your diet and lifestyle. Try to avoid unhealthy foods that foods high in sugar and fats. Control junk foods and incorporate some form of physical activity. Regular blood sugar level check ups are a must especially after the age of 45. Maintain an ideal weight. All this can make your life better.
