Description

This effective and scientifically proven program might be right for you if you're looking for help with weight loss, physical activity, healthy eating, stress management, and preventing Type 2 diabetes. When a person has pre-diabetes, their blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. Pre-diabetes increases a person's risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. CDC estimates that 96 million - or more than 1 in 3 - US adults 18 or older has pre-diabetes in 2019. The free 12-month program is designed to teach individuals how to make better food choices, help increase physical activity, and provide helpful ways to cope with problems and stress. The program lasts one year, with 16 sessions about once a week, and six to eight more sessions meeting once a month. Qualified participants will work together to achieve their goals, under the guidance of our certified lifestyle coaches. This program is proven to motivate and support people with pre-diabetes to make practical, real-life changes, while decreasing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by more than half.
