New Brunswick, N.J. – January 4, 2023 – Saint Peter’s Healthcare System is committed to assisting members of the community in helping to prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes through a
free, year-long program that teaches improved nutrition, increased exercise, stress management and weight loss. The Prevent T2 program is open to anyone 18 years or older diagnosed with prediabetes or with a history of gestational diabetes. The next year-long session, which will be held virtually, begins on
Wednesday, February 8. Pre-registration is required.
The Prevent T2 program has received full recognition from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a designation reserved for programs that are high-quality and evidence-based. Taught by registered dietitian nutritionists, Prevent T2 has shown promising outcomes. This will be Saint Peter’s eighth session. The nine participants who completed the sixth session had a collective weight loss of 150 pounds (7.5% average weight loss) and an increase of 215 minutes per week in physical activity.
Sessions are designed to be both fun and educational. Lifestyle coaches track progress while the group format allows for mutual support that inspires healthier living and a commitment to individual goals. The next session begins on February 8 with all classes meeting virtually on Wednesdays from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The year-long program meets every other week for the first six months, followed by monthly meetings in the second half of the year.
