Take the Pre-Diabetes Risk Test

Pre-Diabetes information in English and Spanish

From the DoIHavePreDiabetes.org website:

The CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program offers scientifically proven and effective lifestyle change programs that can help you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

  • The program can show you how to make better food choices, be more physically active, and find helpful ways to cope with problems and stress.
  • You'll work with a trained lifestyle coach and a small group of people who are all working towards the same goal.
  • It’ll last for 1 year (including meetings about once per week in the first 6 months).
  • The hundreds of local community partners are required by CDC to meet high standards and prove results.
  • You can do it in person, or online.
