Life in 24

Life in 24 is a Diabetes Prevention Program that helps people who have prediabetes or are at risk for type 2 diabetes make lasting lifestyle changes. This program is not for anyone who has already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Participants work with coaches and peers to learn healthy habits like better eating and staying active.
