Moving from Type 2 Diabetes Education
to Action
It's about changing the way you think...to support a life
of emotional balance and physical health...to foster a new
way of living...because healthy lifestyles are the best way
to live.
-
Healthy lifestyles -- the best way to prevent Type 2 diabetes.
The groundbreaking Diabetes
Prevention Program published in The
New England Journal of Medicine showed that people
who received intensive
counseling on diet, exercise, and behavior modification
as well as exercise supervision reduced risk of developing
diabetes by 58 percent. Study participants on diabetes
medication saw a 31 percent reduction -- nearly half that
of the first group.
- Healthy lifestyles -- improving health, quality
of life, and well-being for those who already have Type
2 diabetes.
Managing your disease is one thing. Thriving with it --
having more energy, less stress, healthy relationships,
a positive outlook, and all the other meaningful benefits
you receive when you enjoy a life of quality -- is really
what counts.
