Are you at risk for diabetes?
More than 86 million Americans have prediabetes – and most don’t even know it.
Prediabetes means that blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high
enough yet to be classified as type 2 diabetes. Certain factors can increase one’s
risk of developing diabetes or prediabetes such as:
• Weight: Having a body mass index (BMI) over 25
• Age: Being age 40 or older
• Ethnicity: Being of Hispanic or African American origin
• Activity level: Having a more sedentary lifestyle
Support that’s right for you
The Diabetes Prevention program offers:
• In-person support: Connect with a personal
health coach.
• Digital access: Get peer support and
real-time guidance.
• Tools and resources: You may be eligible to
receive a wireless scale, activity tracker, and
easy-to-understand tips.
Most participants lose 5% to 7% of their total body
weight, which, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, results in a 58% risk reduction
in developing type 2 diabetes.
