29.1 million people or 9.3% of the U.S. population have diabetes. Nearly 21 million people are diagnosed with diabetes and 8.1 million people are undiagnosed. 86 million adults aged 20 years or older have prediabetes. If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, or believe you may be at risk for developing the disease, The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program is a 12-month group-based program consisting of 16 core sessions, followed by monthly maintenance sessions led by a trained Lifestyle Coach.

Hear from health educators and physicians who are currently referring patients to this program and see how both the patient and the physician benefit.

I tweet that Brand X has changed my life, that it will change yours too, that my followers should follow Brand X's hashtag right away! But, most importantly, I set up a Pinterest page to share themes that remind me of Brand X, maybe other brands too. Hey, Pharma—does this sound like your greatest dream or your worst nightmare?
