Cut your diabetes risk by more than half.

People across America are losing weight, exercising more, and managing stress with help from PreventT2.

PreventT2 is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The program meets for one year with 16 weekly meetings for the first 6 months, then once a month for the second 6 months to help maintain your healthy lifestyle changes. Participants are supported by a lifestyle coach and a group of people trying to make the same changes.
