Closing out Diabetes Prevention Month with Aida's inspiring journey! 🌟
Knowing that she had a family history of diabetes and wanting to be more proactive about her health, Aida joined the Diabetes Prevention Program offered in Spanish at our Harris YMCA. This one-of-a-kind program is not only offered in Spanish, but also provides participants with a free Y membership, allowing them to put their learnings into practice through regular exercise.
Since joining the program in January, Aida has not only lost weight, but gained a healthier mindset by making overall informed lifestyle choices.
