Prevent T2 Program

You can Prevent Type 2 Diabetes with the Prevent T2 Program. A proven lifestyle change program designed to reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

If you have prediabetes or other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, it’s time to take charge of your health. The PreventT2 lifestyle change program can help you make lasting changes to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

One out of three American adults has prediabetes. Having prediabetes means your blood 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.

The PreventT2 lifestyle change program can help you lose weight, become more physically active, and reduce stress. The Prevent T2 program is a Centers for Disease Control (CDC)-recognized program designed to cut your risk of Type 2 diabetes in half. It uses over 25 years of scientific research on proven strategies for preventing or delaying the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
