Giant Offers CDC’s PreventT2 Program for Those with Pre-Diabetes


From our friends at Giant Food...

Customers Can Register for Classes Through September 30th

Giant of Landover, MD is offering the CDC-approved curriculum, PreventT2, to help those with pre-diabetes to prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes. The lifestyle changes learned in these free classes can help people with pre-diabetes cut their risk of Type 2 diabetes in half.

Weekly sessions at local Giant Food stores with a Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist will help those with pre-diabetes lose weight, eat healthier, be more physically active, and manage stress. Prevent T2 is a year-long program that meets 16 times in the first 6 months and then 6 times in the last 6 months to help you maintain your healthy lifestyle changes. By meeting with others who have pre-diabetes you can celebrate each other’s successes and work together to overcome obstacles.
