NYTimes Blog Discusses National Diabetes Prevention Program.

the CDC “began rolling out the National Diabetes Prevention Program in 2012. Now, 527 organizations around the country — health care providers, community groups, employers, colleges, churches — offer it in every state, often at multiple sites.” According to the blog, it “may be the largest national health effort that most of us haven’t heard of, and one of the most important, especially for older adults.” Ann Albright, who directs the diabetes division at the CDC, said, “This is not a ‘diet,’ some sort of temporary thing.” Instead, Dr. Albright said, “This is intended to help people adopt new habits and to look at that as a way of life.” http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/26/diabetes-prevention-that-works/?ref=health
