Diabetes prevention is proven, possible, and powerful

Diabetes means your blood glucose (often called blood sugar) is too high. After a meal,
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a research study that proved that type-2
Diabetes could be prevented or delayed in persons with increased risk by losing a small
amount of weight and getting 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five days
a week. When you take steps to prevent Diabetes, you will also lower your risk for possible
complications of diabetes such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve
damage, and other health problems.

Keys to success:

• Set a weight loss goal of 5-7% of your current weight.
• Eat a variety of foods that are low in fat and reduce the number of calories you eat per day.
• Get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five days a week.
