Get healthier and drop your blood sugar with free professional support - a podcast by Columbia Memorial Hospital
from 2021-06-08T13:00
If your blood sugar levels are high, but not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes, your doctor may tell you that you have prediabetes. When you hear that news, you have a choice. You can stay on a path that may lead to type 2 diabetes, and all the complications that come with it. Or you can use the news as a catalyst for making healthy changes in your life.
Led by Arna Vanebo, RD, and Melissa Morris, RD, CDE, Columbia Memorial Hospital’s new Diabetes Prevention Program starts on July 14, 2021. This program is CDC-recognized and based on research. It is focused on healthy eating and physical activity.
In Episode #33 of Hands on Health, Arna and Melissa talk about prediabetes and what you can do to prevent it from progressing to full-blown diabetes.
