The Preventative Care Act Now Provides Health Behavior Change Programs Like PreventT2 which aims to help detect and prevent small health problems before becoming big health risks.

PreventT2 is a new weightloss program that helps individuals throughout the U.S. to prevent Type 2 diabetes. One in three American adults has prediabetes. If you have prediabetes, you are at high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, a serious disease. Many people with prediabetes who do not lose weight or do moderate physical activity can develop Type 2 diabetes within 5 years.

The good news is that you can prevent Type 2 diabetes. The PreventT2 lifestyle change program, offered by TAT Health Solutions can help. PreventT2 is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and is proven to prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes. In PreventT2, you will work in a group with a trained lifestyle coach to learn the skills you need to make lasting changes. These include losing a modest amount of weight, being more physically active, and managing stress. You will learn to eat healthy, add physical activity to your life, stay motivated, and solve problems that can get in the way of healthy changes. “If you have prediabetes,” said Health & Wellness Coach, TerryAnn, “PreventT2 offers a real chance to prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes by helping you adopt a healthier lifestyle.”

Enroll in the local program, which meets in person or online one day a week. The cost is $500, and some insurance providers will cover the cost of
the program. Many have already signed up for the PreventT2 and TAT Health Solutions is working to enroll more people and is opening at new certain program sites.

Your PreventT2 group will meet for a year — weekly for the first 6 months, then once or twice a month for the second 6 months to maintain your healthy lifestyle changes. Most participants enjoy the group support and find it makes lifestyle change easier. One participant said, “I’ve tried so many things before, but without the program I would never have done this on my own.”

The PreventT2 program is based on research that found people with prediabetes can cut their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in half by losing 5 to 7 percent of their body weight. That is about 10 to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds. Small changes make a big difference With a trained lifestyle coach as a guide, you can work with others who have prediabetes to make a change for life.
