I Am Trying To Prevent Diabetes, Any Tips ?

I am 23 years old (female). I work out 6 times a week ( strength training 3 days a week and jog 3-4 days a week). I am trying to avoid processed foods and eat whole wheat items when consuming carbs. Both my cousin and my grandmother ( her siblings) have or are pre-diabetic. My mom does not have it but my father has high- blood pressure . Heart problems run on both sides of the family. What else can I do to avoiding getting it?
