Description:The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) prevents Type 2 Diabetes through healthy eating, weight loss and regular physical activity. The program provides a supportive environment where other people living with prediabetes work together in a small group led by a trained lifestyle coach.
The year-long program helps participants make real lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, including physical activity into their daily lives, and improving problem-solving and coping skills.
Participants meet with a trained lifestyle coach and a small group of people who are making lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes. Sessions are weekly for 6 months and then monthly for 6 months.
This proven program can help people with prediabetes and/or at risk for type 2 diabetes make achievable and realistic lifestyle changes and cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.
You lose 5% to 7% of your body weight-that is a 10-14 pounds for a 200 pound person- through modest lifestyle changes.
