Health on Focus
Believe It, Pursue It
Introducing a better way of being. Health on focus is dedicated to providing you with the tools you need to redefine your mind so that you can create the changes necessary for important positive shifts in your life.
Here we will introduce you to CDC diabetes prevention program. Health on Focus implements the proven CDC Diabetes prevention program.
The CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program’s lifestyle change program can help people with pre diabetes prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems and improve their overall health. It’s scientifically proven, and it works.
More than 84 million US adults—that’s 1 in 3—have prediabetes, which means that blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as diabetes. People with prediabetes are at high risk for type 2 diabetes (the most common type of diabetes), heart disease, and stroke.
According to the CDC , In the last 20 years, the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes has more than tripled as the US population has aged and become more overweight. Now more than 30 million Americans have diabetes, which increases their risk for a long list of serious health problems, including:
Heart attack
Stroke
Blindness
Kidney failure
Loss of toes, feet, or legs
People are more likely to have prediabetes and type 2 diabetes if they:
• Are 45 years of age or older;
• Are overweight;
• Have a family history of type 2 diabetes; • Are physically active fewer than three times per week; or
• Have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy or gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds.
What is the evidence base for the prevention of diabetes through lifestyle change interventions?

Eat low-fat meals with fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, talk to your health care provider about your risk for type 2 diabetes.
IF YOUR SCORE IS 9 OR MORE POINTS This means your risk is high for having pre diabetes now. Please make an appointment with your health care provider soon.
HOW CAN I GET TESTED FOR PRE DIABETES? Individual or group health insurance: See your health care provider. If you don’t have a provider, ask your insurance company about providers who take your insurance. Deductibles and copays may apply. Medicaid: See your health care provider. If you don’t have a provider, contact a state Medicaid office or contact your local health department.
