Do I Have Prediabetes?

Past event
Jan 13, 2018, 10:30 to 11:30 AM

1 out of 3 American adults have prediabetes…

That’s 86 Million American’s, and 9 out of 10 of these people… don’t know they have it.

Prediabetes is when your glucose (sugar) levels are higher than normal. This puts you at risk for developing serious health conditions including type II diabetes, stroke and heart disease.

With healthy lifestyle change including healthy eating and exercise, prediabetes can be reversed.

Take the test below to see if you are at risk: https://doihaveprediabetes.org/prediabetes-risk-test.html

If you’re at risk, schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider.

If you have prediabetes, take action now, before it’s too late!

Join our Diabetes Prevention Program! Developed by the CDC, one of our trained facilitators will educate you about physical exercise goals, healthy eating, stress, and behavior modification. These small changes learned may lead to the reversal of prediabetes. This class is weekly for 16 weeks, followed by twice a month, and finishing with once a month for a total of 22 sessions. This class is brought to you, FREE OF CHARGE, through the Community Health Team of Gifford Health Care and Vermont Blueprint for Health.

Join us on Saturday, January 13th from 10:30-11:30, at the Gifford Conference Center to learn more about this class and register.
