What We Offer
Type 2 diabetes is a very serious disease. Many people do not realize that they have significant risks for diabetes and as a result they can lose the opportunity to take early preventive steps.
This web-based interactive program helps you first assess specific risk factors and determine how relevant they are for you. You then consider several ways to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Following this you immediately receive a customized report with tips and ideas based on your unique needs, interests, preferences and priorities.
Does It Fit For You?
This program would be helpful for people who: 1) already know they have a risk of developing diabetes and want to develop a specific plan to protect their health; or 2) people who would like to better understand their risks and become more aware of their potential keep risks low or reduce them.
Not much change is needed to reduce your risk of diabetes. Even if you have a high risk for diabetes, small changes can have a dramatic effect on reducing your risk. For example, just losing the first two to three pounds of body weight can reduce your risk by about 16%. Given the challenges of managing diabetes once it strikes, it is obviously much better to prevent or delay it.
