Diabetes Prevention Education
What is Prevent T2?
Prevent T2 is a proven lifestyle change program designed to help adults prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Through small group sessions, participants get the support they need to build healthy habits, lose weight, become more active, and reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
This year-long program is led by trained lifestyle coaches and offers encouragement, accountability, and practical strategies that truly work. Whether you’re prediabetic or just looking to take control of your health, Prevent T2 is here to guide you every step of the way.
Classes are held in-person and cover topics like nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and more.
