National Diabetes Prevention Program

Prediabetes is a wake-up call that type 2 diabetes could be in your future, but it can be reversed. The CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) has been proven to help people make the lifestyle changes needed to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Through the program, participants:

Work with a trained coach to make lasting lifestyle changes.
Discover how to eat healthy and add more physical activity into their day.
Find out how to manage stress, stay motivated, and solve problems that can slow progress.

If you are told you have prediabetes, ask your doctor or nurse if there is a National DPP lifestyle change program offered in your community.
