Diabetes Prevention Info

Many people in the West Central community are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the most common kind of diabetes. Diabetes is a serious condition. You are more likely to get diabetes if:

- you are overweight
- you do not eat nutritious foods
- you are 40 years old or older
- you have a fmaily member who has diabetes
- you are not very active

Type 2 diabetes can be prevented. There is nothing you can do about your age or about having a family member who has diabetes, but you can do things to eat as well as possible and to be active.
