Diabetes has become a pervasive health concern, impacting millions worldwide. The rising number of individuals affected underscores the urgent need for proactive solutions. At Prepstone, we recognize the gravity of this issue and are committed to taking a stand. Through our community-based fitness programs, offered at no cost, we invite everyone to join us in this crucial fight.
Diabetes significantly alters daily life, affecting physical mobility, overall functionality, and mental well-being. This complex condition demands a multifaceted approach, with physical fitness and proper nutrition playing pivotal roles. Studies consistently demonstrate that regular exercise can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce blood glucose levels, and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Our free community fitness programs provide accessible opportunities for individuals of all fitness levels to engage in regular physical activity. These programs are designed to be inclusive and supportive, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
Our “Seminars for Success” series delves into the crucial connection between mental health and physical fitness, offering practical strategies for managing stress and cultivating a positive mindset. We understand that mental well-being is intrinsically linked to physical health, and our seminars provide valuable tools for navigating the emotional challenges associated with diabetes management. Additionally, our Community Health Screenings provide vital checks, allowing individuals to know their vital signs and begin the process of understanding their health.
Moreover, Prepstone’s focus on nutrition through seminars featuring local nutritionists offers direct guidance to those looking to make better eating habits.

April 1, 2024I find it funny that this is a constant topic in America and yet we are as far from a solution that we were years ago. Think about it. 50 years ago... Diabetes was a hot topic and today with all the money invested into research and more, what progress have we made?! More medication to address one thing but harm 4 other critical elements of the body. We need to take accountability for ourselves... our choices and do not rely on others for the solution, which may lie within.
