CEBU, Philippines - As a condition, prediabetes is loosely described as an interim phase that precedes the onset of a full blown Type II Diabetes diagnosis.
To certain extent, it is characterized by having blood sugar levels that are higher than "normal", but not as high as the blood sugar stats of diabetics.
Given that a cure for diabetes has not yet been found, emphasis on prediabetes therapies and treatments are quite important, since prediabetics can still normalize their blood sugar levels, thereby stay clear from the risks, dangers and lifestyle implications of diabetes as a condition.
For prediabetics having some trouble with their prediabetes therapies, a unique "social network" developed by Omada Health was recently launched, dedicated in helping its "members" halt the progress and onset of a full blown Type II Diabetes case.
Known as Prevent, the online entity is not exactly a "social network" but is a Diabetes Prevention Program that stands to be the first of its class.
Highlighting features that are found in most social networks, Prevent features a 16-week curriculum that is designed to help its participants loose weight and lead healthier lifestyles.
Though its full service coverage is United States' based, the site hosts essential information about diabetes and prediabetes, making it a veritable source of information about the conditions.
Those in search for an online avenue where prediabetics and healthcare experts get to meet on a regular basis will find what they've been looking for in Prevent.
