Diabetes Care
Prediabetes increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
PreventT2 is a one-year lifestyle program that will help you lower the risk of getting type 2 diabetes. The program is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). PreventT2 is taught by ChristianaCare registered dietitians and community educators who’ve been trained as lifestyle coaches.
The goal of the program is to help you lose 5 to 7 percent of your weight — up to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds — by eating healthier and being more physically active.
Meetings are offered in-person and virtually, and occur weekly for the first six months and every other week for the next six months.
Classes are held at ChristianaCare in Newark or virtually via Microsoft Teams.
Small group classes of up to 15 people provide a supportive environment.
