1 in 3 adults have prediabetes. More than 8 in 10 don’t even know they have it. Without taking action, many people with prediabetes could develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years. WSU Extension Clark County’s Diabetes Prevention 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
New year-long program starting soon!
