Understanding Prediabetes and Diabetes – A Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle

Diabetes is a major public health concern that, if left unmanaged, can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve issues. However, with the right lifestyle choices, many cases of type 2 diabetes can be delayed or even prevented.

Join us for an informative lunchtime webinar to gain a clearer understanding of prediabetes and diabetes and learn practical steps to lower your risk. We’ll explain how these conditions develop, their impact on the body, and why early detection is crucial. We will explore key concepts such as blood sugar regulation, insulin function, and common risk factors. More importantly, we’ll focus on actionable lifestyle changes—including healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management—that can help prevent or manage diabetes.

Whether you have a family history of diabetes, are concerned about your own risk, or simply want to make healthier choices, this session will provide valuable insights and practical strategies to support long-term well-being.

This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. To receive incentive points, attend at least 80% of the live session or listen to the entire recording within one week.
