Based on effective efforts researched by the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Diabetes Prevention Program will help participants learn about and adopt the healthy eating and physical activity habits that have been proven to reduce the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Individuals will receive support and encouragement from both a trained Lifestyle Coach and fellow classmates as they develop a plan for improving and maintaining their overall health and well-being.
The 12-month, group-based program consists of 16 core sessions conducted weekly in community-based settings, worksites or healthcare facilities. To stay motivated and maintain progress towards program goals, participants continue with monthly maintenance sessions.
