Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program

Redefine Your Health, Transform Your Life

Prevent Type 2 

 

What is Prediabetes? Could you be at risk? 

According to the CDC, “more than 88 million US adults (1 in 3) have prediabetes and 90% of them don’t know they have it. Prediabetes is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.” Through a weight loss and physical activity goal, the CDC’s Prevent Type 2 program is aiming to reduce the number of people at risk for prediabetes. Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Risk for developing type 2 diabetes may be reduced or eliminated by weight loss, healthier eating, and increased physical activity. Find out if you might be at risk by taking this CDC online risk test. 

 

If you are at risk for prediabetes or diabetes, you may qualify for the CDC’s Diabetes Prevention Program, Prevent T2, offered through the YMCA of Avery County or the Broyhill Wellness Center. The Prevent T2 program is an evidence-based lifestyle intervention program that promotes weight-loss and type 2 diabetes prevention. You’ll work with your coach(s) over the course of 1 year to reach weight loss and activity goals to reduce your diabetes risk.

What is Fresh From the Farm?

Fresh From the Farm is an ARHS worksite CSA which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Members of a CSA join by paying a fee determined by the farmer in late winter. Then, beginning in June, your farmer will harvest your organically grown food and/or flowers and deliver it every week to WMC to take home to your family. CSAs are a fantastic way to support your local farmer. With our work site delivery set-up, it is a convenient way to supplement your weekly grocery shopping and a fun surprise to discover what will be in your box week to week. It might even get you trying some new things that you’ve never tasted before.

 

 

 

It’s easy to participate:

  1. Enroll by the deadline. Choose from a Veggie CSA, a Flower CSA, or a combo Veggie/Flower CSA.
  2. Pick up your Fresh From the Farm delivery every Wednesday afternoon at the WMC lower level parking garage.
  3. Look for recipes and how-to’s in your email each week.

Don’t think you’ll eat the whole share each week? We encourage splitting a share with a colleague!

 

 

2024 enrollment is open through 3/29/2024. Full details at the new UNCHA Intranet.
