Preventing Type 2 Diabetes with the PreventT2 Classes
Prediabetes means the blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be type 2 diabetes. Most people who have prediabetes don’t know they have it. Here are some of the risk factors for prediabetes:
• Being overweight
• Being 45 years old or older
• Not being physically active
• Having a family history of type 2 diabetes
Lifestyle changes like losing some weight and being more physically active can help lower the chance or risk of type 2 diabetes.
The class is called PreventT2. Our program is recognized by the CDC and uses a CDC-approved curriculum. PreventT2 classes are in English, Spanish or Chinese but if you speak another language, let us know. There are daytime, evening, and weekend classes available.
