In Brief Increasing evidence demonstrates that type 2 diabetes can be delayed orprevented in people with elevated risk by modest changes in lifestyle.Research by the Indiana Diabetes Translation Research Center shows that theYMCA organization is a good community partner to implement diabetes preventionprograms.
