YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program

Diabetes is a chronic disease that causes blood sugar levels to rise higher than normal. Diabetes affects more than 29 million people. A condition called prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. More than 86 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk of developing diabetes. Diabetes has no cure, but prediabetes can be reversed.

Chances are you know at least one person with diabetes and probably more than one with prediabetes. To find out if you are at risk, take this quick test. Then share the test with friends and family.

To participate in the program, you must be:

• 18 years or older,
• Overweight (BMI ≥ 25)*, and
• Diagnosed with prediabetes via one of three blood tests or a previous diagnosis of gestational diabetes.**

If you don’t have a blood test result, you must have a qualifying risk score.
