Diabetes Prevention
A Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Program – that works
Over 84 million Americans – or 1 out of 3 adults – have prediabetes. And of those 84 million, 9 out of 10 of them don’t even know they have it, because there often aren’t symptoms. Could this be you?
The National Diabetes Prevention Program is a CDC-recognized lifestyle change program, hosted by Fit & Well, MD, and is proven to work. Making moderate healthy lifestyle changes can help people with prediabetes cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes in half.
