Diabetes prevention webinar: Reduce chronic disease risk in the COVID-19 pandemic

Wednesday, June 24, 2020 at 12:00 CST

Prediabetes is a silent tsunami in the U.S. One in three people have prediabetes, and 84% don’t know it. But prediabetes can be reversed. It’s far better to educate employees and family members now before prediabetes converts to diabetes, and leads to accompanying chronic conditions like heart disease, hypertension, and circulation problems. Reducing the risk of chronic conditions like diabetes is even more important as we face the COVID-19 pandemic.

Take action now to learn how employers are dealing with prediabetes. In this webinar, assess your organization’s risk of doing nothing, gain information about how Minnesota employers are addressing prediabetes, and come away with valuable tools and resources to help your organization act to prevent diabetes and costly chronic conditions.
