Diabetes Prevention Program
Prediabetes is a condition where your blood sugar is higher than normal, and could lead to diabetes or a heart condition. Healthy habits can help prevent prediabetes from developing into diabetes and incorporating these habits into your lifestyle can cut the risk of diabetes in half. As a team we will learn how to manage stress, exercise realistically, eat a well-balanced plate and so much more. Together we can reach our goals.
