More than 1 in 3 Americans today have prediabetes.

That’s according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which also notes that of those with prediabetes, more than 80% don't even know it.

The ‘Prevent T2’ program at the University of Delaware aims to curb type-2 diabetes and help those at risk or already pre-diabetic.

Delaware Public Media’s Kyle McKinnon recently caught up with one of the program’s leaders Tara Leonard to talk about type-2 diabetes prevention.
