dc.description.abstract | There is little known about the long term efficacy of diabetes prevention programs in adolescents targeting high risk youth. In this study a chart review was performed to recruit 21 adolescents from the intervention arm and 9 from the control. The HbA1c, BMI% and BP were measured and they all took a health behavior questionnaire. The results varied but the data suggest that there is not an overall decrease in diabetes risk as there was no statistically significant difference in the A1c or BMI. | |
