TBE is committed to helping you and your family prevent and manage diabetes. Our new online diabetes support program recognizes your individual challenges and encourages you to overcome them. Click here to access the tools.

Diabetes is a leading cause of heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and amputation. The good news is, type 2 diabetes can be prevented, and it isn’t as hard as you might think. Losing just 7% of your body weight (which translates to 14 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds) and exercising moderately (like brisk walking) 5 days a week can reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes by 58%. Other lifestyle changes also can prevent and/or delay diabetes complications.
