Prediabetes Care

If you have prediabetes, you can take action to improve your health. Studies show that people with prediabetes can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes by up to 58 percent through modest weight loss and regular exercise. We offer a variety of programs to help.

Comprehensive Diabetes Care

If you’re diagnosed with prediabetes, it’s time to take action. In the Sutter Health network, we offer diabetes prevention programs—for kids, teens and adults—as well as weight management classes, events and support groups. We offer special programs to help you lose weight, improve your diet and reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease. Here are some of the options.

Diabetes Prevention Programs

Our yearlong diabetes prevention programs are based on the Group Lifestyle Balance Program®, developed by the University of Pittsburgh in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The program adapts the curriculum used in the National Institutes of Health Diabetes Prevention Program. That national study of people with prediabetes found that those who lost a modest amount of weight through healthy eating and increased physical activity significantly reduced their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

This program is offered at 15 convenient Sutter locations across Northern California.

Diabetes Type 2 Research

Sutter Health Diabetes Type 2 Research
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of illness and death in the U.S. today, but it was uncommon just 60 years ago. Research is critical to slow down this growing health problem and treat the 29 million Americans who have it. Diabetes occurs when the body doesn’t make or use the hormone insulin properly. Cells don’t get the energy they need, and sugar from food – called glucose – builds up in the blood. Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and is epidemic in this country.
