CDC’s New Campaign Launch - Imagine You Preventing Type 2 

Exciting news - CDC’s Imagine You Preventing Type 2 campaign has launched! This video series aims to reach a large segment of the 96 million US adults living with prediabetes.

 

To help people make that vital connection, Imagine You Preventing Type 2 takes viewers inside the real-life experiences of three participants in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP). Through unscripted storytelling, participants share their progress, including overcoming plateaus, handling obstacles, and celebrating successes, all with the support of their certified Lifestyle Coach.

 

From now until the end of the year, videos will be broadcast across ABC television stations as well as Disney’s streaming platforms, including Hulu and ESPN. The entire series can be viewed here,  where viewers can also find links to the National DPP and learn how to enroll in the lifestyle change program.
