Lifestyle
Change Program to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes
is one of the biggest health challenges affecting adults in the United States.
About 37 million people have diabetes. About 96 million adults have
prediabetes, which puts them at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. That’s
more than 1 in every 3 adults in the United States.
Type
2 diabetes is a serious condition that can lead to health issues such as heart attack,
stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation. Having
prediabetes means your blood glucose level is higher than normal but not high
enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. Without making healthy lifestyle
changes, such as losing weight, increasing physical activity, and eating
healthier, many people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within
five years.
However,
prediabetes is reversible; we can help you make those healthy lifestyle
changes.
The
Care Coordination DPP is a year-long program that meets once a week for sixteen
weeks, then once every other week for two months, and then once a month for the
last six months—a worthwhile commitment to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes
by as much as 58%.
