Small steps, big changes

The Okanagan YMCA and The University of British Columbia have partnered together to launch a program that will help people who are at risk of suffering type two diabetes.

The Small Steps for Big Changes program will be offered at the Kelowna Downtown YMCA.

Small Steps for Big Changes is a three-week personalized diet and exercise program for individuals at risk of type two diabetes.

The program was developed at UBC’s Okanagan campus by Associate Professor, Mary Jung.

Jung put the program together with the intention of addressing the silent epidemic of prediabetes, which Diabetes Canada reports is expected to grow to 23 per cent of the Canadian population by 2025.
