Risks of developing Type 2 diabetes

Many people with prediabetes don't know they have it. You may be at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes if you: 

  • Are overweight
  • Are over 65
  • Get little or no physical activity
  • Have someone in your family that has Type 2 diabetes
  • Had gestational diabetes while pregnant

Take the prediabetes test. It only takes two minutes to find out if you are at risk.

How does this program work?

Hour-long sessions are held online via Zoom, in groups of 8-15 people.

For the first 4 months, your group will meet weekly, then biweekly for two months. Then for the last six months of the program your group will meet monthly.

I not only met my weight loss goal, but far exceeded that number by twice the amount. I was able to improve my glucose level greatly.

This program provided the structure and guidance for making this happen.

You get out of it what you are willing to put into it, yourself.
