Lose weight and prevent diabetes
Being overweight is one of the top risk factors for prediabetes. According to the CDC, about 96 million American adults – more than 1 in 3 – have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, more than 80% don’t know they have it. Prediabetes puts you at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
The good news is that lifestyle changes, including losing weight, can help you prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems. Omada is a personalized program that gives you the tools and support you need to help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, reduce your risk of getting diabetes, and improve your overall health – all through an easy-to-use website or app.
