Diabetes Prevention Program

The Diabetes Prevention Program in Takoma Park, MD, offers a supportive one-year initiative designed to empower individuals to take control of their health through small group classroom sessions. Our mission is to facilitate meaningful lifestyle changes by focusing on healthy eating, regular physical activity, and effective weight management. Participants are guided to achieve a weight reduction of 5-7% and to engage in at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week. By providing comprehensive health and nutrition education, we strive to equip community members with the tools and knowledge needed to prevent diabetes and foster a healthier future.
