Testimonials

Thanks to taking the Diabetes Prevention program I felt very motivated to make changes in the way I take care of my health. I resumed physical activity (since the pandemic I put it on pause), I reduced the food portions, I stopped drinking sodas and juices and I started drinking water.
Thanks to the healthy changes I made in my habits, in the 16 weeks of the program I lost 19 pounds.

I recommend that people enter the Diabetes Prevention Program if they have a goal of losing weight for their health and well-being.
Being in this group helped me, because I started to lose weight by myself (3 or 4 pounds) and then I stagnated… this group motivated me to continue with my healthy habits.

Now that I have taken the Diabetes Prevention Program and have learned many tools to take care of my health, I will continue to eat healthy, being aware of the portions and above all I will continue to do some type of physical activity.
