About National Diabetes Prevention Program: PreventT2

The PreventT2 Program Reduces Your Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

If you have prediabetes or other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, now is the time to take charge of your health and make a change. The PreventT2 lifestyle change program can help!

PreventT2 is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, led by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It features an approach that is proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

By improving food choices and increasing physical activity, you can lose 5 to 7 percent of your body weight–that is 10 to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds. If you have prediabetes, these lifestyle changes can cut your risk of developing type 2 diabetes in HALF.

 

Prediabetes Can Lead to Type 2 Diabetes

One out of three American adults has prediabetes, and most of them do not know it. Having prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. This raises your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Without weight loss or moderate physical activity, many people with prediabetes can develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years. Type 2 diabetes is a serious condition that can lead to health issues such as heart attack; stroke; blindness; kidney failure; or loss of toes, feet, or legs.

Along with all the information and training that you need to prevent Type 2 diabetes, this program offers support, and community unlike many other “quick fixes.” You can change your life in just 24 hours, watch the video below!

 

Your Lifestyle Coach will be with you every step of the way, with advice, support, and all the tools you need to lower your diabetes free throughout your life.

 

The lifestyle changes you make in the PreventT2 program will help you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and its effect on your body.
