Diabetes Prevention:<br />
Big Rewards, Small Steps<br />
The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention <strong>Program</strong> is a community-based<br />
lifestyle improvement program for adults with pre-diabetes. Its purpose<br />
is to empower adults with lasting lifestyle changes that will improve<br />
their overall health and reduce their chance of developing Type II<br />
diabetes.<br />
Currently, diabetes affects nearly 26 million people. Another 79 million<br />
have pre-diabetes and are at risk of developing diabetes.<br />
Research by the National Institute of Health has shown that programs<br />
like the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention <strong>Program</strong> reduce the number of new<br />
cases of diabetes by 58% overall and 71% in individuals over age 60.<br />
