After this lesson, learners will understand:
Know that diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy (blood sugar).
Know that “prediabetes” is when blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diabetes. It can lead to diabetes and other health problems.
Know that diabetes can cause serious problems like kidney disease, eye problems, and heart disease.
Know that if you have Type 2 diabetes, you can manage your blood sugar through a healthy diet, exercise, and possibly medication to prevent or delay damage caused by high blood sugar.
