✅ Preventing Type 2 Diabetes for Life: What to Do After the Program Ends

1. 🔄 Turn New Habits into a Lifestyle

Stick to the routines that worked during the program: regular meals, mindful eating, and physical activity.
Make it realistic: Aim for progress, not perfection.
Keep healthy habits enjoyable so they last.

2. 📆 Create a Weekly Plan

Schedule movement, grocery shopping, and meal prepping just like appointments.
Use a planner or phone reminders for consistency.
Keep at least one day a week for a “reset check-in” — weigh in, set goals, and review wins.

3. 💪🏽 Stay Physically Active

Move at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
Include strength training 2x a week to help insulin sensitivity.
Don’t stop if the weight loss slows — activity helps control blood sugar even without weight loss.

4. 📈 Keep Tracking

You don’t have to track everything forever, but stay aware of:
- A1C and glucose numbers every 3-6 months
- Weight range (use “non-scale victories” too!)
- How you feel energy-wise and mentally

5. 🍽️ Stick to the Balanced Plate

Stick with what you learned: lean proteins, fiber-rich carbs, and non-starchy vegetables.
Watch for “creep-back” of processed or sugary foods.
Keep your kitchen prepped for success — frozen veggies, healthy snacks, and meal ingredients on hand.

6. 🧠 Mindset Maintenance

7. 👥 Stay Connected

Join or start a support group, or keep in touch with program participants.
Ask your coach if there are monthly check-ins, maintenance groups, or alumni challenges.
Accountability is key—even if it’s just a friend, calendar, or app.

8. 📚 Continue Learning

Follow reputable health pages, YouTube channels, or podcasts focused on diabetes prevention.
Keep challenging yourself with new healthy recipes, fitness goals, or reading labels.
