Dear Prospective Participant,
Thanks for your interest in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program. This evidence-based program is being offered nationwide to help people make healthy changes to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. It’s proven, and it can work for you!
The lifestyle change program is designed for people with prediabetes. Prediabetes means that your blood sugar is higher than usual but not high enough yet for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. If you have prediabetes, you can reverse this condition by:
To qualify, you’ll need to have a BMI (body mass index) of 25 or higher (23 or higher if you’re of Asian heritage) and one of the following:
People who are pregnant or have been diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are not eligible.
The class meets once a week for about six months and then once or twice a month for another six months to help ensure your healthy changes stick.
A trained Lifestyle Coach will help you learn new skills, encourage you to set and meet goals, and keep you motivated. The coach will also lead discussions and help make the program fun and engaging.
You will also have a support group with similar goals and challenges. You can share ideas, celebrate successes, and work to overcome obstacles. Making changes when working as a group may be easier than doing it alone.
We’re hosting a webinar, Discovery Session (also known as Session Zero), on July 5, 2024, at 1 pm and 7 pm.
