NOT ME is all about you. Your health. Your happiness. Your life.

You can prevent Type 2 diabetes and you don't have to do it alone.

Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes,
is most commonly caused by obesity and lack of physical activity. It is responsible for nearly 95 percent of diabetes cases in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control.

The Diabetes Prevention Program is a 16-session education program conducted by lifestyle coaches at local YMCAs for people who do not have diabetes but are at risk.

Program participants learn in a group setting how healthier eating and a moderate increase in activity can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes by nearly 60 percent.

After completing the 16-session program, many previous participants have gone on to make lasting changes that significantly improve the quality of their lives.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.

In Type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy.

Some risk factors for diabetes are:

Unhealthy Weight
Inactivity
Family History
Race/Age
High Blood Pressure
Abnormal Cholesterol Levels
- High levels of Triglycerides

Diabetes increases your risk for many serious health problems such as:

Cardiovascular Disease
Amputation of Limbs
Neuropathy (nerve damage)
Kidney Damage
Glaucoma
Blindness
Increased risk of certain cancers

You can prevent diabetes by:

Eating healthy foods
- Choose foods low in fat and calories.

Get adequate physical activity
- Aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day.

Lose excess pounds
- If you're overweight, losing even 5 percent of your body weight — for example, 10 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds — can reduce the risk of diabetes.
