Diabetes Prevention Class at the MDI YMCA in Bar Harbor

The Mount Desert Island Hospital Wellness team is offering a Diabetes Prevention Class that will begin on Monday, September 14, from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. at the MDI YMCA in Bar Harbor. The class is free and will require a 12-month commitment. The classes will meet weekly each Monday for 16 weeks and then monthly for the remainder of the year.  The class is designed to provide information on how to prevent diabetes by cutting fat grams and exercising for 150 minutes per week. By following the program, participants can lose 7-10 percent of their body weight and lower their chances of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.
