Primary Prevention

More than a third of people in Washington have pre-diabetes. People with pre-diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention and Control Program works with partners to help people prevent diabetes through policy, environmental and system changes in communities.

YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program:

People who have pre-diabetes can prevent type 2 diabetes by making lifestyle changes, such as learning to eat healthier and getting more physical activity. The program funds and advises four Activate America programs in YMCAs across Washington to include diabetes prevention programs in the community.
