If we don\u2019t do anything, that prediabetes will progress to type two diabetes.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When people are in that stage, they are at a higher risk for heart attack and stroke. However, just because they are pre-diabetic, it doesn\u2019t mean diabetes is inevitable. \u201cWe know there are two things that can reverse prediabetes. 5-7% weight loss, and increasing your physical activity to 150 minutes of moderate pace activity per week,\u201d said McClenahan.<\/p>\n<p>Those are some of the things taught in Lee Health Solutions diabetes prevention class. \u201cWe talk about barriers that get in the way. We talk about stress management, falling off track, triggers. You know when you go to the movie theater that thing that goes off in your head that says you need to buy popcorn with butter. We talk about how you deal with that,\u201d said McClenahan. <\/p>\n<p>The group class meets for an hour a week over a yearlong period. \u201cWhen you\u2019re in the group setting, you build support and relationships where you can continue to support each other because you have the same goals and then you have a long lasting support system,\u201d said McClenahan.<\/p>\n<p>The class is covered by Medicare and most insurances and McClenahan said the results speak for themselves. \u201cSome of the evidence and research that has been done when people are successful and go through this program is they reduce the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes by as much as 58%. When someone hits the age of 60, that risk reduction rises to 71%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more and sign up by searching for diabetes prevention on leehealth.org.<\/p>\n<p>View More Health Matters video segments at youtube.com\/leehealth<\/p>\n<p>Lee Health in Fort Myers, FL is the largest network of health care facilities in Southwest Florida and is highly respected for its expertise, innovation and quality of care.
