Results and Impact
From 2018 to 2020, 223 patients at MHI’s Diabetes Prevention Clinic participated in a program to study the effects of a healthy lifestyle on people with type 2 diabetes.

Of the 223 participants, 66% lost weight, 60% reduced their waist size, 58% improved their glycated hemoglobin, 55% brought their fasting sugar levels and their glycated hemoglobin within normal range, 52% improved their fasting sugar levels, 48% lowered their circulating insulin levels, and 24% increased their “good cholesterol”.
