Those who get a high score are directed to speak with their doctor to confirm a diagnosis of prediabetes and then enroll in the CDC program. The campaign website also offers healthy lifestyle tips and a link to a registry of more than 1,700 in-person and online CDC-recognized programs nationwide.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/media\/releases\/2018\/p1114-new-prediabetes-campaign.html\" target=\"_new\">More Information<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
