Diabetes Prevention Program: The Diabetes Prevention Program helps people with prediabetes reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58% through healthier eating, increased physical activity, and modest weight loss. Participants attend 16 weekly sessions led by a trained lifestyle coach, followed by bi-weekly and monthly support meetings for 8 additional months to maintain progress. The program focuses on achieving a 7% weight loss and 150 minutes of weekly activity for adults who are at risk for diabetes.
