Let’s Talk About Preventing Diabetes

Approximately 34 million Americans have diabetes and 90-95% of them have Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes may be prevented by changing eating habits and creating an exercise routine.

  • Understanding Type 2 Diabetes 
  • Difference between Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes
  • Risk factors for diabetes
  • Symptoms of diabetes
  • Damage diabetes can do to the body
  • Prediabetes vs diabetes
  • Steps to prevent diabetes
  • Help from health insurance 

Funding was provided by Security Health Plan.
