Descripción de YMCA Diabetes Prevention - December 29, 2015

YMCA'S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM Diabetes is a serious condition that causes blood sugar levels to rise higher than normal. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Currently, diabetes affects more than 29 million people. Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Risk for developing type 2 diabetes may be reduced or eliminated by weight loss, healthier eating and increased physical activity. More than 86 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk of developing diabetes. Prediabetes may be reversible; diabetes has no cure. How It Works: The 12-month group-based program consists of 16 one-hour, weekly sessions, followed by monthly sessions led by a trained lifestyle coach who facilitates a small group of people with similar goals. Discuss topics such as healthy eating, increasing physical activity, reducing stress, problem solving and much more. Stay motivated to maintain progress towards program goals with monthly maintenance sessions. Program Goals: Lose 7% of your body weight Gradually increase your physical activity to 150 minutes per week. You will do this by learning strategies for: Healthy Eating, Increasing Physical Activity, and Losing Weight. Based on research funded by the National Institutes of Health, the program has been shown to reduce the number of new cases of type 2 diabetes by as much as 58%. The reduction was even greater, 71%, among adults aged 60 years or older. For more information: (707) 545-9622 www.scfymca.org
