Diabetes Prevention Program

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PRE-DIABETES

Pre-diabetes means a person’s blood glucose (sugar) level is higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as diabetes. If you have pre-diabetes, you are at increased risk for developing serious health problems such as type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The sooner people find out they have pre-diabetes and take action, the better their chances of preventing type-2 diabetes.

WHY YOU SHOULD team up – TODAY

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Medical Association (AMA) are sounding an alarm about pre-diabetes because a national effort—by everyone from physicians to employers to patients to community organizations—is required to prevent type 2 diabetes in the United States. In addition to focusing on the person with pre-diabetes or diabetes, we also must engage the systems and communities where people live, work and play. We can all TEAM up to prevent diabetes.
