If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, you have a serious condition. Many people with prediabetes who don’t change their lifestyle will develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years.

Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious health issues such as:

          • Heart attack
          • Stroke
          • Blindness
          • Kidney failure
          • Loss of toes, feet, or legs

Do you have risk factors?

      • You are overweight
      • You are 45 years of age or older
      • Your parent or sibling has type 2 diabetes
      • You are physically active fewer than 3 times per week
      • You ever gave birth to a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds
      • You ever had diabetes while pregnant (gestational diabetes)

If you have prediabetes, join our CDC-recognized lifestyle change program. It can help you lose weight, become more active, and prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

      • Eat healthy without giving up all the foods you love
      • Add physical activity to your life

Calling for Home Care

We would like to invite you to the premiere of an amazing short film “Calling for Home Care”, which lifts up the home care crisis in the midst of COVID-19. The New York Association for Independent Living is releasing this film in partnership with our coalition, the NY Caring Majority, as part of our fight to demand increased wages and benefits for home care workers across the state.

Watch the film and sign the petition to tell New York State JUST PAY FOR HOME CARE IN NY!
