Research shows that participants who lost 5 - 7% of their body weight and added 150 minutes of exercise per week cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58% (71% for people over 60 years old).¹ The National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) can also lower the risk of having a stroke and heart attack, improve your health, and reverse a prediabetes diagnosis.

Why Participate  →

The National DPP is a year long lifestyle change program designed for people who have been diagnosed with prediabetes or at risk for type 2 diabetes. A trained lifestyle coach leads the in-person or online program to help participants change certain aspects of their lifestyle (i.e., eating healthier, reducing stress, and getting more physical activity). The program is conducted in a group setting to encourage participants to share their goals and struggles. Group members encourage each other as they learn healthy habits and gain new skills.²
