I loved Prevent because I could do it in the time I had.
My mom, dad, sister, and brother all have type 2 diabetes, and my doctor told me that I had prediabetes. I needed to slim down. But you know how it is when you’re overweight—you don’t want to hear it. When I got a call about Prevent, I said ‘yes,’ because I figured there was no harm in trying something that my health insurance plan was recommending. I loved Prevent because I could do it in the time I had. Talking to my coach, bonding with my group, tracking my steps and eating… I did the entire program on my laptop or phone, whenever I had a moment.
