More than 8 in 10 don\u2019t even know they have it,\u201d said Zena Edwards, Associate Professor and manager of the WSU Extension Clark County PreventT2 Diabetes Prevention Program. \u201cWithout taking action, many people with prediabetes could develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People with prediabetes \u2014 higher-than-normal blood glucose (sugar) levels \u2014 are 5 to 15 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those with normal blood glucose levels. About 34.2 million Americans have diabetes. Over 88 million have prediabetes.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that adults with prediabetes can learn to make healthy changes that can cut their risk of type 2 diabetes in half. \u201cSmall changes can add up to a big difference,\u201d added Edwards. \u201cBut taking action to find out your risk score and blood glucose numbers is the first step.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One-on-one in person or virtual consultations for helping individuals determine risk for prediabetes are available on Monday, April 12th from 3pm to 7pm and Thursday, April 15th from 10am to 2pm.<br \/>\nDuring the 20-minute appointment, a WSU Extension PreventT2 Lifestyle Coach will provide a prediabetes risk score and suggested actions for preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Registration is required for the prediabetes risk screening.
