Living Healthy to Prevent Diabetes

Living Healthy to Prevent Diabetes is a free, six-week program that helps individuals develop a structured lifestyle change program that can cut the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58%, and with sustained behavior, continues to lower risk for years to follow. This program incorporates key components of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s Prevent T2 Lifestyle Change curriculum with a focus on promoting healthy eating and physical activity for individuals diagnosed with prediabetes.

At weekly meetings, Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist, Carolyn Gundell, MS, CDCES, will guide participants in learning about healthy eating, weight management, physical activity, coping skills, healthy lifestyle goal setting and stress management.
