Honestly the most effective thing is to just lose weight - carrying excess weight causes insulin resistance in both types of diabetes, not just for those with T2 (or more prone to developing T2).

Past that, try to be more active.. if you aren't already exercising regularly, that would be the place to start.. it doesn't have to be high-impact, even just a brisk walk for 20 minutes can make a big difference. The more active you are, the more excess glucose your body burns up rather than storing it as body fat.
