    1 in 3 adults have prediabetes yet 81% don’t know it.
    Prediabetes is a serious condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal, increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. With Omada, you may have access to a program that provides proven, one-on-one support to help you take control and prevent type 2 diabetes.

    Factors increasing your risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes:

    • You are 45 years old or older. The older you are, the greater your risk.
    • Type 2 diabetes runs in your family. Having a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes increases your risk.
    • You are overweight. Being overweight and physically active less than 3 times a week are common risk factors.

    You may have access to Omada at $0 cost to you, if eligible. Omada members get:

    • A dedicated care team with a personal health coach.
    • A personalized care plan tailored to your lifestyle.
    • Smart devices and app to help monitor your progress 24/7.
