Did you know that one-third of patients over age 18 have prediabetes and are at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, but nine out of 10 of those individuals likely do not know of their risk? It is essential for family physicians to be able to identify and treat their patients for diabetes.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is launching its new webinar series for physicians and other health care providers to learn more about prediabetes and the National Diabetes Prevention Program. There are three programs you can register for:
- Thursday, September 12, at 1 p.m. EST
What You Need to Know about Identifying and Treating People with Prediabetes

What You Need to Know about the National Diabetes Prevention Program and the Benefits of a Structured Lifestyle Change Program for Patients
- Thursday, September 26, at 8 p.m. EST
