Anyone identified as having prediabetes is invited to attend a free class on Friday, July 10, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in suite 140 of the medical office building at Mercy Regional Medical Center.
Attendees will learn how to manage prediabetes and help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
People diagnosed with prediabetes are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Effectively managing prediabetes can help prevent diabetes. In fact, studies have shown that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be significantly reduced through weight loss and exercise, which have been shown to be more effective in managing prediabetes than medication alone.
