There are about 98 million American adults who have prediabetes- that's 1 in 3 adults! Of those 98 million, more than 8 in 10 of them don’t even know they have it. Without taking action, many people with prediabetes could develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years. Physical activity is one of the best ways to improve overall health and manage stress. Unfortunately, 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. are sedentary for more than eight hours each day, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). This can have negative consequences on physical and mental health. Learn more about YDSP National Diabetes Prevention Program during a “Walk and Talk”.
