The PreventT2 Program Reduces Your Risk
of Type 2 Diabetes
If you have prediabetes or other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, now
is the time to take c
harge of your health and make a change. The
PreventT2 lifestyle change program can help!
PreventT2 is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, led
by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It features
an approach that is proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
By improving food choices and increasing physical activity, you
can lose 5 to 7 percent of your body weight — that is 10 to 14
pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds. If you have prediabetes,
these lifestyle changes can cut your risk of developing type 2
diabetes in half.
Prediabetes Can Lead to Type 2 Diabetes
The lifestyle changes you make in the PreventT2 program will help
you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

How the PreventT2 Program Works
As part of a PreventT2 group, you will work with a trained lifestyle
coach and other participants to learn the skills you need to make
lasting changes. You will learn to eat healthy, add physical activity
to your life, manage stress, stay motivated, and solve problems that
can get in the way of healthy changes.
PreventT2 is a year-long program with weekly meetings for the first
6 months, then meetings once or twice a month for the second
6 months to help you maintain your healthy lifestyle changes. By
meeting with others who have prediabetes you can celebrate each
other’s successes and work together to overcome obstacles.
The PreventT2 program is offered in our community at:
If You Think You May Be at Risk for Prediabetes
and Type 2 Diabetes:
»
Take this fact sheet to a health care provider and ask to be
tested for prediabetes. The health care provider may do a
simple blood test.
» If you don’t have a health care provider, call us to find out if you
qualify for the program.
» You can also check out the “Could You Have Prediabetes?” online
quiz at www.cdc.gov/PreventT2. If your score shows you are at
high risk for prediabetes, talk to your health care provider or
contact our program.

“I’ve tried so many
things before, but
without the program I
would never have
done this on my own.
I had done every
single thing out there
that I could think of.”

“I’m so excited
because I went to the
doctor last week and
all of my numbers
were down and I
officially no longer
have prediabetes.”
