Prevent Type 2 Diabetes Before It Starts
Trinity Health Michigan Diabetes Prevention Program
Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough for diabetes. The good news is type 2 diabetes can often be prevented or delayed. Trinity Health Michigan offers the nationally known Diabetes Prevention Program to help you build healthy habits that last.
Program Overview
The Trinity Health Michigan Diabetes Prevention Program is a one‑year lifestyle change program. You work with a trained lifestyle coach and others who share the same goals. The program focuses on small, realistic changes in eating, movement, and daily habits that help lower your risk for type 2 diabetes.
Years of research have shown that this program, part of the CDC National Diabetes Prevention Program, can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes
