ARE YOU
AT RISK?
Diabet es Prevent ion Program by
REGIONAL YMCA OF WESTERN CT
Pre- diabetes is a potentially reversible condition that, when ignored, often
leads to Type II diabetes. More than 1 in 3 Americans has prediabetes.
Nine out of 10 people with prediabetes don't even know they have it.

The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program helps adults at high risk for developing
type 2 diabetes reduce their risk for developing the disease by taking steps that
will reduce t heir overall healt h & well- being.
Research from the National Institutes of Health has shown that programs like ours
can reduce the number of new cases of type 2 diabetes by 58%, and 71% in adults
over the age of 60.
If you are over the age of 65, Medicare may cover the cost of the program if you
are eligible.
