The Growing Threat of Prediabetes

About 98 million American adults, more than 1 in 3, have prediabetes. More than 8 in 10 adults don’t know they have it.

Before developing type 2 diabetes, most people have prediabetes. This is when their blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough yet for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. If left untreated, prediabetes can develop into type 2 diabetes which can lead to additional medical conditions.

You can reverse prediabetes and prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. With proven, achievable lifestyle changes – such as losing a small amount of weight, making healthy eating choices, and getting physically active, you will be on your way to a healthier life!

The PreventT2 lifestyle change program can help you lose weight, become more physically active and reduce stress.

With PreventT2, you get

  • A proven program to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes
  • A CDC-approved curriculum and trained lifestyle coach
  • 26 one-hour sessions conducted over 12 months
