If you have a family history of diabetes, are overweight, have middle abdominal weight gain, have high blood pressure and cholesterol, or had diabetes while pregnant, you have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Sarasota Memorials Diabetes Prevention Program helps those at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes change their lifestyle habits to help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes for a healthier future.
 
Session Zero is an introduction into the 12 week Diabetes Prevention Program features interactive education, peer support and access to Sarasota’s only certified medical fitness facility. Weekly sessions are facilitated by SMH registered dietitians and nurses that specialize in diabetes management. The classes teach weight-loss and healthy-eating strategies, plus ways to be more active and manage stress in order to prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
