November is National Diabetes Awareness Month

During November the YMCA is encouraging their members to understand their risks for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and take steps to prevent the disease.  More than 29 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with diabetes and more than 84 million people have prediabetes. Without weight loss and moderate physical activity, 15 to 30 percent of people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within five years.

During National Diabetes Awareness Month, we encourage all community members to take control of their health and learn their risk for type 2 diabetes by visiting ymca.net/diabetes and take steps to prevent the disease.

Ensure success by signing up for your FREE Fit Start appointment at the Welcome Desk. A Wellness Coach will meet one-on-one with you and give you a personal action plan for success.  In an hour, you will gain the tools and resources to help you feel confident and excited about working out.
