 ARE YOU
AT RISK?
Diabet es Prevent ion Program by
REGIONAL YMCA OF WESTERN CT
Pre- diabetes is a potentially reversible condition that, when ignored, often
leads to Type II diabetes. More than 1 in 3 Americans has prediabetes.
Nine out of 10 people with prediabetes don't even know they have it.

The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program helps adults at high risk for developing
type 2 diabetes reduce their risk for developing the disease by taking steps that
will improve t heir overall healt h & well- being.
Research from the National Institutes of Health has shown that programs like ours
can reduce the number of new cases of type 2 diabetes by 58%, and 71% in adults
over the age of 60.
If you are over the age of 65, Medicare may cover t he cost of t he program if
you are eligible.

Your Dues Operat e t he Facilit y. Your Gif t Changes Lives.
The YMCA is a non- profit community service organization dedicated to serving our community.

members and neighbors have access to the Y and its programs, regardless of their financial situation.
