A person’s risk for diabetes includes a family history of diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, being over the age of 45, being overweight and physically inactive. To know your risk score, take the Diabetes Risk Quiz.

This is a one year program beginning with twelve weekly sessions, then two months of bi-weekly sessions, followed by seven months of monthly sessions. Each session is one hour long.
