National Diabetes Prevention Program, "PreventT2"

The PreventT2 program, offered by the Cecil County Health Department in North East, MD, is a comprehensive, year-long initiative designed to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Backed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this program provides participants with invaluable support from certified lifestyle coaches and group members focused on building sustainable healthy habits. Participants can expect to engage in weekly meetings for the first four months, transitioning to bi-weekly for the next two months, and then monthly check-ins for the final six months. The program encourages achieving at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week and aims for a modest weight loss of 5-7%. Best of all, the program is offered at a significantly reduced cost of $150, with potential financial assistance options such as scholarships and insurance coverage. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, services remain accessible via video calls, ensuring continuous support in your journey toward better health.
