YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program

The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program in Fort Wayne, IN, offers a supportive environment for individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. As part of the CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program, our initiative empowers participants to embrace healthier lifestyles through a structured, evidence-based approach. Over 16 engaging sessions led by trained lifestyle coaches, participants learn vital skills in nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and motivation that can lead to a 58 percent reduction in diabetes onset. This program is specifically designed for individuals aged 18 and older who are overweight and at risk, or who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. We warmly welcome individuals looking to make positive life changes and provide financial aid for those who qualify.
