Take the Free Risk Test
Heart Attack
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), individuals with diabetes are two to four times more likely to die from heart disease compared to those without diabetes. Additionally, about 68% of people aged 65 or older with diabetes die from heart disease
Amputation
According to data from reputable sources such as the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in the United States.
However, the exact percentage can vary. Some studies suggest that diabetes accounts for approximately 60-70% of all non-traumatic lower limb amputations.
Diabetic Retinopathy (Blindness)
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults aged 20 to 74 years in the United States. Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina, is the primary cause of diabetes-related blindness. Estimates suggest that diabetic retinopathy affects approximately one-third of people with diabetes, and about 4% of individuals with diabetes will develop severe vision impairment or blindness.
Stroke
According to the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Stroke Association (ASA), diabetes increases the risk of stroke by about two to four times compared to individuals without diabetes. Additionally, about 16% of people aged 65 or older with diabetes die from stroke.
Dialysis (Kidney Failure)
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney failure globally. According to the National Kidney Foundation, diabetes is responsible for approximately 44% of all new cases of kidney failure in the United States.

Prediabetes is when someone's blood glucose (sugar) level is too high but not high enough yet for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes can become type 2 diabetes if it is not treated. 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, and more than 84% of people with prediabetes don't know they have it. So, thake the risk test now to see where you stand.
If You Have Prediabetes, We Are Here To Help!
In coordination with the CDC, we offer a 12-month lifestyle prevention program. You may qualify for the program for free or at a reduced cost, depending on your family income.
Change Program
A CDC-recognized lifestyle change program is a structured program -- in person or online -- developed specifically to prevent type 2 diabetes.
It is designed for people who have prediabetes or are at risk for type 2 diabetes, but who do not already have diabetes.
- 12 months
- 26 zoom appointments
- 60min each appointment
The core of the program consist of you attending classes with a registered dietitian and a group of 30 other participants on 1-hour long Zoom classes 26 times over the course of the year.
When you sign up, you will pick a day and time that is convenient to meet for you on a regular basis, such as Sundays at 3PM or Mondays at 7PM.
Why Participate
Research shows that CDC-recognized lifestye change program participants who lost 5-7% of their body weight and added 150 minutes of exercise per week cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58% (71% for people over 60 years old).
TAKE THE RISK TEST
Even a decade later, program participants were one-third less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than individuals who did not join a program.
The program can lower your risk of having a heart attack or stroke, improve your health, help you feel more energetic, and even reverse your prediabetes diagnosis.
A trained Lifestyle Coach leads the program to help you change certain aspects of your lifestyle, like eating healthier, reducing stress, and getting more physical activity. The program includes group support from others who share your goals and struggles.
A year might sound like a long commitment, but learning new habits, gaining new skills, and building confidence takes time.
As you begin to eat better and become more active, you'll notice changes in how you feel, and maybe even in how you look.
This lifestyle change program is not a fad diet or an exercise class. And it's not a quick fix.
It's a year-long program focused on long-term changes and lasting results.
"This program has taught me how to eat healthy and find exercise routine that work for my schedule."
