Prevent T2 Diabetes

One out of three American adults has prediabetes and most of them don’t know it. Prediabetes can lead to Type 2 diabetes. Without making lifestyle changes, many people with prediabetes can develop type 2 diabetes within five years. PeaceHealth’s “Prevent T2 Diabetes” lifestyle change program can help participants make lasting changes to prevent type 2 diabetes. With just modest lifestyle changes, participants can cut the risk of type 2 diabetes by more than half. “Prevent T2 Diabetes” is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Participants will learn to:

• Eat healthy
• Add physical activity to lifestyle
• Manage stress
• Stay on track when eating out
• Stay motivated
• Solve problems that get in the way of healthy habits

Due to COVID-19 safety guidelines, all participants must register; walk-ins will not be accepted. There are also some eligibility requirements and a fee for the class, which varies based on individual insurance coverage. For more information or to register, call Kate at 360-546-8049.
