If you have prediabetes you are at risk of it progressing to type 2 diabetes in 5 years. Type 2 puts you at risk for heart attack, stroke, blindness, and more.
You can reduce your risk or prevent type 2 with this CDC approved lifestyle change program. The long-term support of a year long program can give you the skills you need to lose weight, be more physically active and manage stress.
A trained lifestyle coach will guide and encourage you and you will get the support of other participants with the same goals as you.
We will meet weekly, followed by bi-monthy and then monthly to give you ongoing support and the information you need.
