New Year, Healthier You! 🌟 Make Preventing or Delaying Type 2 Diabetes a Priority.
Have you set your goals and resolutions for the new year? 🎯 This year, let healthy living take the spotlight! Wondering where to start? Here’s how you can take control of your health and well-being.
Step 1: Learn Your Risk 🚨
Could you be at risk for prediabetes? You’re not alone—over 1 in 3 adults have this serious condition, where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The good news? You can often reverse prediabetes with healthy lifestyle changes!
Knowing your risk is the first step to protecting your health. 🛡️
👉 Take a quick 1-minute risk test: CDC Diabetes Risk Test 📅 Ask your doctor to run a blood test to check if you have prediabetes.
Step 2: Take Action 💪
If you find that you're at risk or already have prediabetes, it's time to take action. Start by creating a plan to improve your health. Here are some simple steps to get you started:
Eat Healthier 🍏🥗:
Choose non-starchy vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins over processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.
Start small. It’s better to make gradual changes you can stick to than to try and do everything at once!
Exercise More 🏃♂️💪:
Find an activity you love and set realistic goals. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity at least 5 days a week.
Exercise doesn’t have to mean the gym—walks, yoga, or dancing all count!
Step 3: Get Support 🤝
Changing habits can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. The Wellness Five program, part of the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program, offers lifestyle change support in Aiken, Camden, Goose Creek, and Summerville, SC.
