Lower Your Risk for Diabetes
According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, 1.5 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed each year. In Illinois, 12% of adults have diabetes, over 3% of the national rates. You may be at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes if you have prediabetes, are overweight, have a family history of diabetes, poor diet, and being physically active less than three times a week.
Cut your risk for type 2 diabetes in half.
Type 2 diabetes is preventable.
Loyola Medicine's FREE National Diabetes Prevention Program, offered in English and Spanish, is a yearlong lifestyle change program aimed to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Participants will learn how to be more active, eat healthy, manage stress, and lose 5 -7% of weight, while learning techniques to help you stay positive and motivated. The Diabetes Prevention Program includes 16 weeks of classes followed by monthly maintenance sessions to provide ongoing support for optimal outcomes. Classes are offered in English in Spanish with options to attend in-person or virtually.
