WSU offers Diabetes Prevention Program in Grand Coulee soon

The WSU Diabetes Prevention Program can help you lose weight and prevent or delay type-2 diabetes. It is a lifestyle change program that helps people develop lifelong skills for healthy living with step-by-step changes, according to Margaret Viebrock, WSU Extension program coordinator.

 The Diabetes Prevention Program is for people with pre-diabetes, which is when your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not so high it can’t be lowered.  The program is a 12-week series, followed by bimonthly meetings for two months and then monthly meetings for seven months. 

 The class series is starting in Grand Coulee on Wednesday, June 7, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m., at the Coulee Medical Center Professional Arts Building, 411 Fortuyn Road in Grand Coulee.  

Pre-registration is required to determine eligibility. For more information or to enroll, call Judith at 509-634-4544 or WSU Extension at 509-745-8531.

 WSU programs and employment are available to all without discrimination.
