[QUOTE="Abbutalaha, post: 149447"] CASPER, Wyo — The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) announced it is offering a free virtual diabetes prevention program to Wyoming residents at risk of the disease and its consequences. The WDH said #PreventDiabetes is a year-long, home-based program that helps individuals lose weight and reduce their risk for type 2 diabetes with: [LIST] [*]educational video sessions [*]app-based coaching [*]progress tracking with provided smart scale [*]cash incentives for weight loss [*]the support of a certified diabetes lifestyle coach [*]and more. [/LIST] “One in three American adults has prediabetes and, according to recent data, 35,000 people in Wyoming have been told they have prediabetes,” said Amber Nolte, Chronic Disease Prevention Program manager with the WDH. “Our goal is to help ensure making healthy choices can be easy for Wyoming residents.” Nolte explained that prediabetes means a person’s blood glucose (sugar) levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. “We know that prediabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form of diabetes,” Nolte said. “Unfortunately, most people with prediabetes don’t realize it so we want to help them learn if they are at risk and then give them the tools to do something about it.” Diabetes is currently the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, the WDH said. Type 2 diabetes can lead to higher risk of serious health problems, including: [LIST] [*]Heart attack [*]Stroke [*]Blindness [*]Kidney failure [*]Loss of toes, feet or legs [/LIST] Enrollment in the #PreventDiabetes program is free for any Wyoming resident over the age of 18 who is at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Risk factors include being 45 or older, family history of type 2 diabetes, history of gestational diabetes, being overweight or obese, having high blood pressure or having high cholesterol.
