About the Program
Are you interested in improving your eating and exercise habits and preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes? Have you ever been diagnosed with prediabetes? If you answered yes to either of these questions, keep reading. As you may know, prediabetes is when you have higher blood sugar levels than normal but not yet high enough for you to be diagnosed with diabetes. Once blood sugar levels become too high and diabetes develops, it cannot be reversed. 1 out of 3 adults have prediabetes and 1 out of 2 adults over the age of 60 have prediabetes. Research shows that 90% of people with prediabetes do not know they have it.


Stop in and make an appointment with your West Lakes dietitians for a fasting blood sugar test to see if you qualify for this program that would be of no cost to you. Take advantage of this opportunity! An opportunity that can teach you the necessary lifestyle skills for managing your blood sugar levels through diet and exercise so you can learn how to ward off diabetes for good. The program will start in July and limited space is available, so call or e-mail us today!
