Diabetes Risk, Carb Counting and Other Diabetes Health Numbers

You've heard the statistics. Maybe diabetes runs in your family, or your doctor mentioned your numbers are creeping up. The idea of completely overhauling your lifestyle feels impossible when you're already juggling work, family, and everything else.

The Reality: Over 38 million Americans have diabetes, and another 98 million have prediabetes. But here's the good news—lifestyle changes can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and you don't have to change everything overnight. Small, consistent changes add up.

The Challenge: Without understanding what your health numbers mean or knowing which lifestyle changes make the biggest impact, it's hard to know where to start. Plus, conflicting advice about carbs, sugar, and diet makes the whole thing confusing.

What You'll Gain:

• Clear understanding of your diabetes-related health numbers and what they indicate about your risk
• Practical lifestyle modifications proven to reduce diabetes risk that you can start implementing immediately
• Simple carb-counting strategies that make healthy eating choices easier without complicated calculations

This workshop breaks down diabetes prevention into manageable steps. You'll learn which numbers to track, how to make meaningful lifestyle changes at your own pace, and practical approaches to carb awareness that don't require a nutrition degree.

Ideal for anyone with increased diabetes risk, family history of diabetes, or pre-diabetic diagnosis looking for practical prevention strategies.
