Food, all by itself, may not directly cause diabetes, but what you eat can up your risk of developing the disease.

Check out these Family Circle stats: You can lower your diabetes risk by 15 percent by eating whole grains, fruits and nuts, low-fat dairy and leafy green veggies. You can spike your risk by 18 percent by eating red meat, full-fat dairy and refined grains, like white bread.

Time to edit that grocery list -- make sure only the healthiest foods remain.
