Is this program for me?
More than 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. - over 115 million people - have prediabetes, and most don't know it. Having prediabetes increases your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Source: CDC
The DPP program may be a good fit if you:
- Have been told you have prediabetes
- Have an A1C or fasting glucose in the prediabetes range
- Have a history of gestational diabetes
- Have been told you're at increased risk for type 2 diabetes
- Want structured support making realistic changes to your everyday habits

First 6 months
Meet regularly, with more frequent support early on as you build new skills and put healthy habits into practice.
