Family is the center of the health care system, and homemakers are the core of these centers. Healthy practices within the family play a significant role in preventing type 2 diabetes. A homemaker contributes significantly to preventing, controlling, managing, and treating this lifestyle disease. Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading public health challenges of the twenty-first century. Among the total diabetes cases, more than 90 % of people are affected with type 2 diabetes worldwide. The growing prevalence of type 2 diabetes is directly linked to unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles. There is no cure, but prevention can be introduced with lifestyle and diet changes. Secondary data reveals that the majority of instances of type 2 diabetes might be avoided by creating a stress-free family environment, healthy diet, adequate sleep, weight management, engaging in regular exercise, altering one's diet, quitting smoking and alcohol, etc. This paper aims to throw light on the role of the homemaker in the family who can act as a game changer and solve the problem by introducing healthy life practices and helping to defuse this 'ticking time bomb 'of type 2 diabetes in developing nations.
