Prediabetes is a condition in which a person’s blood glucose is elevated, but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. To address this issue, the Central Lincoln County (CLC) YMCA and Boothbay Region (BR) YMCA and LincolnHealth collaborate to offer the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, which helps adults lose weight through healthier eating and increased physical activity.

By adopting healthy habits, you can reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This inclusive program provides a supportive environment where participants work together in small groups to learn about healthier eating and increasing their physical activity.

Both YMCAs are ready to start classes in both Damariscotta and Boothbay. There are still spots left, so call today. YMCA membership is not required. To see if you qualify, contact Casey Clark Kelley at 350-7026.

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program is a CDC-approved curriculum and part of the CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program.
