FRESH START Diabetes Prevention Program

FRESH START Diabetes Prevention Program in Northbrook, IL, offers vital support and resources for adults at risk of developing diabetes. Through comprehensive coaching and group support, participants will embark on a journey toward healthier living. Our initiative provides a CDC-approved curriculum designed to equip individuals with essential skills to lose weight, increase physical activity, and effectively manage stress. Led by trained lifestyle coaches, each program encourages connection with fellow participants who share similar health goals, fostering a supportive environment for change. Eligible individuals, scoring 5 or higher on the CDC Self-Assessment Quiz or diagnosed with prediabetes, can join this year-long initiative that includes 16 weekly sessions, transitioning to bi-weekly and then monthly meetings. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all classes are currently conducted online, making it easier for community members to access crucial diabetes prevention resources from the safety of their homes.
