Abstract
The American Diabetes Association estimated that the cost of diabetes care in the US in 2022 was $412.9 billion. With numerous patients being diagnosed with prediabetes, it was observed that these patients were underinformed about the necessary changes in diet and exercise needed to delay or prevent diabetes. Two interviews were conducted with professionals who work with diabetes, a pharmacist who providers nutrition counseling, and a physician who oversees the clinical management of diabetes. With their insights and information from nationally recognized resources such as the CDC and the American Diabetes Association, a mini-guide in preventing diabetes was created to disseminate to high-risk patients (patients with pre-diabetes) in clinical settings.
