Type 2 Diabetes Prevention with the National Diabetes Prevention Program

The Magna Library will be hosting a Prevent T2 course with the Salt Lake County Health Department beginning on Wednesday, March 12th.

Prevent T2 is a part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program has been proven to prevent or delay Type 2 Diabetes.

Research shows that modest behavior changes, such as making better food choices and increasing physical activity, reduce the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes by 58 percent in people at high risk for developing this disease.

The 12-month program consists of 26 one-hour discussions led by a trained lifestyle coach. The skills participants learn will empower them to make healthy changes for life.
