Invitation to participate

An individual is pre-diabetic when their blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but aren’t high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Pre-diabetes increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. In Spain, 22% of the fishermen and seafarers with overweight and 41% of those with obesity have pre-diabetes or diabetes. The fishermen have x2 times the risk for diabetes compared to the seafarers. Thankfully, you can reverse the damage of pre-diabetes and we can help you. We have a supporting program with weekly Zoom meetings starting with your health examination in the maritime medical clinics. Our 16 week pre-diabetes coaching program is designed to inspire and support seafarers how to prevent the further development from pre-diabetes to manifest type 2 diabetes. This program targets individuals with a blood test showing they have beginning diabetes, pre-diabetes that can be reversed to normal.
