IT ALL STARTED WHEN MY DOCTOR SAID I AM OVERWEIGHT AND AT RISK FOR DEVELOPING TYPE 2 DIABETES.
“I joined a lifestyle change program by HabitNu. It’s working! I have lost 25 pounds in 16 weeks. Can see my goal weight is achievable. I have been able to sustain the changes and calorie awareness that the videos highlight. And, honestly, it hasn’t been too hard....
I feel better about myself, I feel I can do more, I feel my balance has improved. All good things! A shout out to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed”.... Like Dory says: Just keep swimming!”

What is Prediabetes?
Prediabetes means that your blood sugar level is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be type 2 diabetes. Without intervention, people with prediabetes are very likely to progress to type 2 diabetes i. If you have prediabetes, the long-term damage of diabetes especially to your heart, blood vessels and kidneys may already be starting. If you are overweight you are very likely to be at risk for type 2 diabetes. However, the good news is that you can reverse this condition with lifestyle changes.
