“About 79 million people in the US have been diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes, putting them at great risk of developing Type-2 Diabetes,” said Tina Graziose, regional coordinator of the YMCA of Long Island’s YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program. “But the disease can be avoided or delayed by making healthier life choices. At the Y, we work diligently to provide nutrition, lifestyle and exercise programs to help Long Islanders win the fight against Type-2 Diabetes.”
