Prevent Type 2 Diabetes - Post Core Session 2: Take a Fitness Break

The PreventT2 program is a year-long lifestyle change program for individuals that have
pre-diabetes,  a history of gestational
diabetes, or who are at risk for Type 2 diabetes as determined by the score on
the Pre-Diabetes Risk Screen.  This
program aims to help individuals PREVENT the onset of Type 2 Diabetes by
supporting the process of lifestyle change over the course of a year.

The sessions
will help you make lifestyle changes that will result in weight loss and
increased activity.  The program has been proven to be so effective in reducing the risk for
Type 2 diabetes that the Centers for Disease Control is encouraging the program
be offered nationally.  To get the
most benefit from the program, the participant needs to attend all the
sessions.  If you are unable to attend a
session, we can arrange a way to make up that session, but it is encouraged to
make it to the majority of the sessions.  

You will be
given tools to help you be successful:  a
binder to hold all your class materials; Calorie King books to track your
calorie and fat gram intake; pedometers to track activity; exercise band, Keeping
Track booklets to record information in and recipes, which you will be able to
taste.

The Diabetes
Insitute at OU has received a grant from the American Association of Diabetes
Educators in association with CDC and the Athens Health Department to help
cover costs of the program for qualified participants.Sessions will consist of one-hour
long discussion plus ½ hour for exercise or food demos optional at sessions.For more information, to check eligibility, or register, please contact Karen Bailey at 740-566-4777 or baileyk@ohio.edu
