Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)
What is the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)?
DPP is a year-long program to help individuals prevent type 2 diabetes. Click here to learn more before registering!
How does this program work?
- The program is a framework for type 2 diabetes prevention. The program will teach you how to eat healthy and be more active so you can lose 5-7% of your body weight (or more) which can cut the risk of type 2 diabetes by more than 70%. Each session helps build tools and support for participants to lose weight through small changes to diet and exercise routines and behaviors. DPP will hold meetings weekly for the first 16 weeks, then monthly meetings for the remainder of the year.
Can anyone sign up?
- To participate in DPP participants must:
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Be overweight with a BMI 25 or greater
- NOT be pregnant
- NEVER diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes
- Have lab work or a risk score indicating pre-diabetes
