Diabetes Prevention Programs

Type 2 diabetes can usually be delayed or prevented with health behavior changes. A 5 to 7 percent of weight loss can lead to diabetes prevention. DPP classes help at-risk patients make healthier lifestyle choices and may prevent diabetes from developing through weight loss, a healthier diet, stress reduction and increased physical activity. The year-long program, held locally or virtually and facilitated by a trained coach, teaches members how to modify their lifestyle habits through problem-solving and coping techniques.

Class Details
