This is a year-long program designed to help participants with prediabetes improve their health by changing lifestyle behaviors, such as making healthier eating choices, being more active, and reducing stress.
There are about 98 million American adults, 1 out of 3, have prediabetes and more than 8 in 10 don’t even know they have it. Without making the necessary lifestyle changes, many people with pre-diabetes could develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years. Blood tests show that people with prediabetes have a blood sugar level higher than normal, but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. Prediabetes is a serious health condition that not only increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but also heart disease and stroke.
This program is designed to help participants improve overall health and build healthy habits to last a lifetime by changing lifestyle behaviors.
Research has found that the best success in preventing diabetes requires a year-long commitment. This program meets virtually and consists of 16 weekly 1-hour sessions, followed by 4 biweekly sessions, then 6-8 monthly sessions.
