You Can Prevent Type 2 Diabetes with the Prevent T2 Program - Join Today!
Hello!
My name is Tammy Gangwish. I am a nurse practitioner at Family Medical Center of Hastings. Two years ago I became involved with a research study called Re-Power. This study consisted of teaching classes on lifestyle modification to lower weight and increase health for individuals at our clinic. I saw the improvement in several patient's lives by simply meeting with them weekly, and educating them on lifestyle choices that had an impact on their health, in terms of weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, stress, anxiety, and several other areas. As the study nears its two year term, I became very interested in continuing classes such as these for patients of Family Medical Center of Hastings.
In 2017, I became certified to lead a course called Prevent T2. This class focuses on pre-diabetes. The purpose of the class is to help those that are pre-diabetic lose weight and make lifestyle changes that will prevent them from developing type two diabetes. Pre-diabetes is when your blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be considered a type two diabetic. Over 84 million American adults, more than 1 out of 3, have pre-diabetes. Of these Americans, 90% don't even know they have pre-diabetes and are at risk for developing type two diabetes, heart disease, or strokes.
I will be offering these classes to patients of Family Medical Center, starting in January of 2019. The class consists of a year-long program focusing on several ares of weight loss and lifestyle changes to lower your risks of serious health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and many more. Our first class will meet Monday, January 7th, from 5 pm - 6 pm in the north meeting room at the clinic (the old waiting room). We will meet weekly on Mondays for the first 6 months, and continue several times a month for the second 6 months. The cost of the class for the entire year is $400, payable at the start of the program to Family Medical Center of Hastings. This cost is significantly less than similar weight loss options in town, and consists of individual and personal group and one on one sessions for a year.
Your information regarding interest in the course remains confidential, and all rules of HIPPA are followed as they are in clinic. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact the clinic and tell them you would like to either sign up for the January class, or be placed on a list for future classes, indicating your day and time preference. You can also ask to speak with me, Tammy Gangwish, regarding the classes for any questions.
Thank you for your time, I hope to see you in January!
Tamaka Gangwish, APRN
