A health briefing debunks common beliefs about diabetes. It notes 33 percent carry genes for type 2, 90 percent can turn them off with lifestyle, and that diabetes stems from insulin problems rather than sugar alone. It highlights HbA1C as a diagnostic tool and urges 30 minutes of daily walking and weight loss to prevent progression.
