Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) went blue on November 14, 2017, to help spread awareness of World Diabetes Day 2017. World Diabetes Day was created in 1991 by International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat – some say diabetes epidemic - posed by diabetes. NHB's Health and Wellness Department used the date to promote the upcoming PREVENT T2 Diabetes Prevention Program which begins January 2, 2018. PREVENT T2, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will concentrate on making and maintaining lifestyle changes to help eligible beneficiaries lose weight, eat healthy and be more active whether they are at risk for prediabetes/diabetes or simply want to improve their health. PREVENT T2 is being offered for all eligible beneficiaries at NHB. Those interested in registering should talk with their primary care manager, contact Health Promotion and Wellness at 360-475-4541, or call Puget Sound Military Appointment Center at 1-800-404-4506 (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, Naval Hospital Bremerton Public Affairs Officer).
