As we age, we become increasingly aware of the chronic health conditions for which genetics and lifestyle choices can increase our risk. One of those conditions is diabetes Type 2, a disease that impairs your body’s ability to effectively use sugar.

Because of its potentially serious complications, including blindness, preventing diabetes Type 2 is an important step in living a healthy and well life.

One way many of our members have found to learn the tools they need to help prevent diabetes Type 2 is through the Prevent T2 lifestyle program at Network Health.

What is Prevent T2 at Network Health?

Prevent T2 is a one-year series of facilitator-led group class sessions for those with prediabetes and those who may be predisposed to diabetes Type 2. Part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program and led by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Prevent T2 has a proven track record in helping individuals prevent or delay diabetes Type 2.

What exactly does the program focus on?

Prevent T2 empowers individuals by focusing on the following lifestyle and risk-mitigation strategies.

With 25 sessions throughout the year, you’ll find a community of people all working toward a similar goal – minimizing their risk of diabetes Type 2.

If you’re curious about whether you are in an elevated-risk category for Type 2 diabetes, the CDC has this handy risk assessment tool.
