ENERGIZE! Diabetes Prevention Program

The WakeMed Pediatric Diabetes Program is dedicated to helping kids ages 6 to 18 reduce their risk of developing diabetes.  We do this through "Energize!," a program designed to teach young people how to build lifelong, healthy attitudes about food and fitness.   Click here for more information on this 12-week session.

Your child's pediatrician will need to fill out and fax a referral form to get you started in the ENERGIZE! program. After we receive the referral, your child will need a fasting blood sugar test, as well as a fasting cholesterol screening.  This can be done in your physician's office or at any WakeMed lab.  Click here for a lab referral form.
