If you have prediabetes or other risk factors for diabetes, join the Diabetes Institute for "Prevent T2," a yearlong lifestyle change program. Participants meet in a group setting with a trained lifestyle coach to learn how to make manageable lifestyle changes.

Sessions help you lose weight, increase energy, sleep better, and manage stress. Research shows that this program can help those with prediabetes reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to half. Groups start January, May, July, and October.
