One in 10 people in the United States lives with diabetes, the seventh leading cause of premature death in the country. And it’s estimated that nearly 100 million American adults have prediabetes — t hat’s nearly one in three people. Addressing this public health crisis is the driving force behind an online toolkit developed by a team of Extension professionals across the country, led by an Extension Specialist at the University of Arizona. Their goal is to help Extension professionals everywhere launch a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-recognized Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) easily and quickly.
