The Vancouver Clinic is hosting a class for people with prediabetes.

Prediabetes is a condition in which a person has a blood sugar level higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The two-hour course is designed for anyone who has been diagnosed with prediabetes, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance or metabolic syndrome.

The class is led by a certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian. Participants will learn about the prediabetes diagnosis, create a meal plan, make a personal physical activity plan, learn how to reduce fat while maintaining flavor in their diet, learn how to interpret a food label and develop a plan for reasonable weight loss, if needed.

The next class is from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 13 at The Vancouver Clinic Salmon Creek location, 2525 N.E. 139th St., Vancouver.

The class is $25. Advanced registration is required. Call 360-882-2778 to register.
