Live Well
Prevent Diabetes
Stay healthy for what matters most!
At Knoxville Hospital & Clinics, we are excited to offer Live Well - Prevent Diabetes,
a pilot diabetes prevention program. By joining, you will have access to:
• A trained lifestyle coach
• A CDC-approved curriculum proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes
• A supportive group of peers just like you
Life is busy – but staying healthy is essential for the things that matter most: your family, work, hobbies, and future plans, including retirement! If you have prediabetes, now is the time to take action and make preventing type 2 diabetes a priority.
The Live Well - Prevent Diabetes program meets weekly for the first two months, then shifts to twice a month for the rest of 2025, providing support every step of the way.
Together, we will cover topics including healthy eating, physical activity, weight management, stress management, and staying motivated - everything you need to make lasting lifestyle changes.
