Improving Your Cardio Metabolic Profile Can Make a Difference

Cardio-metabolic risk evaluation identifies individuals who may be at higher risk for developing chronic complexities such as heart disease, stroke, blood pressure, or type 2 diabetes.

According to the CDC, the National Diabetes Prevention Program reported an observed weight-loss of 5-7% in program participants over a 1-year period and a 58% reduction in the incidence of diabetes in pre-diabetic study participants who received education on lifestyle modification, nearly twice as much offered by metformin, the leading medication to manage diabetes, over a 3-year period.
