How It Works

Healthy Eating – Eating small portions, reducing fat and discovering healthier food options have been proven to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Increasing Physical Activity – Studies have repeatedly shown that moderate physical activity (walking, swimming, bicycling) for 30 minutes, five days a week can help improve blood pressure, raise good cholesterol and prevent blood flow problems.

Losing Weight – It has been shown that by reducing body weight even a modest amount (7%) can offer tremendous benefits for people at risk of diabetes.
