OHIO employees invited to participate in diabetes prevention program

All Ohio University employees are invited to join the Diabetes Institute for Prevent T2, a yearlong lifestyle change program.

Participants in the program will discover how to make changes that help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, like getting outside to enjoy the things that make Ohio University special.

Live, online classes will start October 2024. Weekly sessions with a trained lifestyle coach help you lose weight, increase energy, sleep better and manage stress.
