What is the Diabetes Prevention Program?
How does it work?
With the help of a trained lifestyle coach and the support of a small group of people, you will reach your goals to work towards a healthier future. Classes focus on how to make better food choices, become more physically active, and find ways to manage problems and stress.
By eating healthier and increasing physical activity, you can lose 5 to 7 percent of your body weight – that is 10 to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds.
This is a 16-week program, followed by monthly support sessions to help you maintain your skills and changes.
Core Phase
The maintenance phase includes at least six lessons that occur monthly. These lessons provide additional support and cover more specific topics such as tackling holidays and special events, time management, food preparation/recipe modification, and long-term maintenance.
Incentives are available for participants to help you achieve your goals. Portion plates, food scales, fitness trackers, and more are offered to encourage adhesion to program specific goals.
Changing your lifestyle is hard, but we are here to help!
