Prevent Child from developing Diabetes from parents/ heredity

Hi all,

Can somebody help me by suggesting the ways to prevent children from developing diabetes. Especially, if the family has the heredity of Type 2 diabetes. Anybody there to share the facts and truth of the having grown up children without diabetes though parents have it  and though its present in heredity.

Thanks!

agree with KevinHarney, balanced diet and exercise, as we get older, risk for developing type II DM also increases

It has not been proven that Diabetes is hereditary.  However there are Dr.s in both camps.  So,  the only known way to either prevent diabetes or delay the onset of Type 2 Diabetes is to exercise and eat right just as you would if you actually have Type 2 diabetes.
