From the VERY SOURCE your QUOTED:

"Exercising regularly and reducing your body weight by about 5% could reduce your risk of getting diabetes by more than 50%."

They list four risk factors, but the BIGGEST risk factor is EATING TOO MUCH.

You don't understand what "reduce your risk by 50%" means, which is fine because most people make the same mistake.

But having a horrible judgemental attitude while making this simple mistake is sub-optimal.

The original claim also included the word "cure", and according to that site there is no "cure." Diet/exercise only reduce the risk of developing it in the first place.
