In Citrus County, nearly 12% of the adult population are living with diabetes. The 16-week workshop helps those with pre-diabetes manage the symptoms of diabetes and work toward improving their overall health. Prevent2T is designed for participants to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, bond with others who share their struggles, and learn to manage symptoms, with the overall goal of preventing type 2 diabetes.
