As a health care provider, keeping your patients healthy is the goal. As you may know, 8 out of 10 adults in Missouri with prediabetes don’t even know they have it. Help your patients determine their risk and take action today.

Thank you for your submission.

Your answers identify you as a LOW RISK individual.

Based on your answers, you are at low risk for having prediabetes. Keep your risk low. If you’re overweight, consider losing a little weight. Be active most days, and don’t use tobacco. Eat meals with fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, talk to your health care provider about your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Great job! Please help spread the word about prediabetes and share this quiz with your friends or loved ones.

WHAT MISSOURIANS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE NATIONAL DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM

For several of these folks it has changed around their[condition] completely. It’s just been absolutely phenomenal. They are not powerless. They are in control. That is very exciting for me.

I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to spend time with. I was very fortunate to sign up for this class and have these ladies and gentlemen to be along for our healthy living journey. We are more like siblings at this point. There is lots of laughter but also lots of encouragement and exchanging of ideas.
