You can prevent or delay Type 2 Diabetes with the PREVENT T2 Program

Prevent T2 is a year-long program recognized by the Center for Disease Control that has been shown to delay or prevent Type 2 diabetes.

Registered dietitians and certified diabetes educators at Clara Maass Medical Center will lead Prevent T2 Program participants through sessions that are available in English and Spanish and are designed to help them lose weight, eat healthy, be more physically active, receive support and manage stress.
