Dear Sir Diabetes is not 100% heriditary. If u are able to maintain BMI < 23kg/m2 then your risk reduced to only < 30% Healthy diet low in carbs and oil Regular exercise 30-60min daily Some tabs like Metformin are used to prevent diabetes in obese individuals At present no vaccine is available though research is going on
Next Steps
check HbA1c and FBS once a year if normal then once in 2-3 years
