With November being National Diabetes Awareness Month, the YMCA of York and York County is offering the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program, which is intended to help adults lose weight through healthier eating and increased physical activity, potentially preventing or delaying the onset of Type 2 diabetes. The program is a group-based lifestyle intervention for adults at high-risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and has been shown to reduce the number of new cases of diabetes overall and in adults over 60.
For more information about how to qualify for access to the program, readers may contact Ashlee Strathmeyer at astrathmeyer@yorkcoymca.org or 717-843-7884, ext. 248, or visit http://www.yorkcoymca.org/ymca-diabetes-prevention-program.
