Welcome to SmiHlt

Dr. Yan Yan, DMD and Ph.D., previously conducted research in diabetes, inflammation, and vascular factors and is now actively engaged in studying prediabetes reversal.

​

Recognizing that early intervention is critical for reversing prediabetes and preventing its progression to type 2 diabetes, particularly during the golden window for reversal—the first several years following its onset and during the younger years—Dr. Yan also understands that many young individuals remain unaware of their prediabetes status.

​

In response, she initiated the SmiHlt program, dedicated to raising awareness of prediabetes among young people in universities and communities and promoting practical preventive measures.

​

By providing comprehensive resources and strategies for prediabetes reversal, the program aims to help people with prediabetes take advantage of this critical window and work toward better metabolic health through a healthy lifestyle.
