More than 30 million Americans have diabetes, and more than 84 million have prediabetes, according the the American Diabetes Association.
Prediabetes has no symptoms. But you can help prevent it from developing into type 2 diabetes with diet and fitness improvements.
Johnson offers some advice for people hoping to make positive lifestyle changes.
She is also leading a year-long free diabetes prevention program starting Thursday, November 2nd at Sanford Health’s Southpointe Clinic.
