NEED HELP FOR PRE-DIABETES?
Turn around your diagnosis of pre-diabetes with a dose of nutrition and supervised exercise while losing weight. Baptist Health Louisville and the Baptist East/Milestone Wellness Center offer a pre-diabetes medical fitness program dubbed NEED - Nutrition, Exercise and Education to Deter Diabetes. Physician referral is required to join. The referring physician will receive information on the initial consultation and ongoing process.
The goal of NEED is to delay or prevent the onset of Type 2 Diabetes for those already diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, characterized by extra weight around the waistline. Participants will first consult with a certified personal trainer from the Wellness Center on their medical and fitness history including a strength and cardiovascular assessment, and body composition.
The NEED program beings with a class on nutrition, let by a certified diabetes dietician. Next, participants will begin their semi-private personal training sessions, selecting the most convenient times for their workouts. Losing as little as 5% of your total body fat, by incorporating a highly individualized physical activity program, will help decrease your risk of diabetes. Workouts are from:
Noon-1 PM or 6-7 PM on Tuesday or Thursday for 5 Weeks
or
7-8 AM or 1-2 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Friday for 4 Weeks
Call for program fees, which include personal training time at Milestone Wellness Center (insurance may pay for some portions of the program.) Milestone members receive a 25% discount on the training sessions. You do not have to be a Milestone member to participate.
