BURLINGTON, Vt. -

The Vermont Health Department says 25-30 percent of Vermont adults are at risk for diabetes, but having a healthy lifestyle can make a big difference.

The YMCA just got a grant to help reach out to people who are at risk for the disease.

Jan Riordan is vice president of Healthy Living. Susan Marx is with the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program. They both appeared on The :30 to talk about the grant and how the YMCA's prediabetes program hopes to make a difference.
