The single most important step you can take in the prevention of diabetes is to live a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle includes many different aspects of your life. Eating a healthy diet is essential to helping your body to perform its normal tasks as naturally as possible. A regular exercise routine is essential to maintaining a healthy weight and in keeping your muscles toned, which allows your muscles to assist your internal organs in performing their tasks. Avoiding stress, or learning how to deal with stress in a healthy manner, helps your brain and nervous system to work with other parts of your body to perform the tasks needed to sustain life.

Well, type 1 you can't prevent. They don't know what causes it exactly but the best guess right now is a mixture of genetics and an infection which cause the immune system to misidentify the cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin as foreign and destroy them. Nothing you can do about this, if you get it you get it. Type 2 can be prevented through diet, exercise and generally keeping healthy, unless it's genetic in which case it can't be prevented. The problem with this type isn't lack of insulin it's just that the cells of the body don't respond to insulin as they should. Gestational diabetes, which develops in pregnancy, can't be prevented. All you can do is manage it extremely closely so the baby doesn't grow too large which could give problems during the delivery. It usually disappears after the delivery.
