If you have prediabetes or other risk factors for type 2 diabetes, you can make changes now to improve your health and prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Join the Harnett County Health Department’s FREE PreventT2 Lifestyle Change Program!

PreventT2 offers a chance to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by adopting a healthier lifestyle. You will work in a group with a trained coach to learn how to eat healthy, add physical activity to your life, manage stress, stay motivated, and solve problems that can get in the way of healthy changes. PreventT2 groups meet for a year — weekly for the first 4 months, every other week for 2 months, then once a month for the second 6 months to maintain healthy lifestyle changes. For more information, email spatrick@harnett.org or call 910-814-6198.
