Diabetes affects more than 38 million people in the U.S. with millions more at risk. While the condition can lead to serious health complications, the good news is that type 2 diabetes is often preventable and manageable with the right tools, support, and lifestyle changes.
April is Defeat Diabetes Month, a time to raise awareness about risk factors, early warning signs, and the importance of prevention through nutrition, physical activity, and regular screenings.
At California Health Collaborative, our Diabetes Education Program (DEP) offers no-cost classes to Fresno County residents living with or at risk for diabetes. Using the DEEP curriculum, participants gain practical knowledge about portion control, physical activity, and long-term self-management to take control of their health.
Defeating diabetes starts with education, empowerment, and access.
