A special message from the Jonas Brothers, on behalf of NDEP.
For people with a family history of diabetes, or who have been told by a health care professional that they are at risk for type 2 diabetes, it’s important to take steps now to reduce their risk in the future. Studies show that people at high risk for type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of the disease if they lose as little as 10 pounds – by walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week and making healthy food choices. NDEP highlights grocery shopping tips for people at risk for type 2 diabetes including special audience-specific, healthy foods.
If you’re over 45 and overweight, you are at increased risk for diabetes. But don’t worry. You don’t have to knock yourself out to prevent diabetes. Use these tips to get started today.
