Abstract
Obesity and its impact on the prevalence of diabetes and subsequent cardiovascular disease is one of the major health burdens in Western societies. Intensive lifestyle intervention programmes have been shown to be successful, even in individuals with pre-diabetes. Nutrition and lifestyle interventions targeting blood sugar regulation, fibre intake for microbiome health and healthy habits formed in childhood all have a role to play.

Abstract
Blood sugar regulation is the process by which the levels of blood sugar, primarily glucose, are maintained by the body within an optimal biological range, called glucose homeostasis. Glucose comes from two major sources: externally from food and internally from liver (which both stores and makes glucose). Eating foods which are high in sugars on a regular basis can lead to a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The research suggests that nutrition advice that favours low GI and GL foods could produce significant cost savings for public healthcare.
