Stop Diabetes Before It Starts! Join Project HEED in East Harlem

Losing weight is the key to stopping diabetes before it starts! Project HEED—Help Educate to Eliminate Diabetes is a free eight-session workshop offered in English and Spanish that showed impressive results when it was introduced last year to overweight East Harlem residents with pre-diabetes. Participants learned simple ways to eat healthier with the foods of their culture, be more active, and read labels on food and drinks. After one year, participants in the Project HEED workshop lost an average of seven pounds. Project HEED has now been funded to offer the free weight loss workshops to as many as 800 East Harlem residents, as part of a large study. If you or someone you care about is at risk for diabetes, call 212-659-9552 or email ehpdp@unionsett.org to enroll.
