Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Alpena, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with the knowledge and support needed to create sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes. By focusing on two key objectives—losing 7% of body weight and increasing physical activity to a total of 150 minutes each week—participants are guided through 25 interactive sessions over the course of a year. Led by a trained Lifestyle Coach, these sessions foster a supportive environment where like-minded individuals come together to learn about nutritious eating, active living, and effective behavior change strategies. Join us to take proactive steps toward a healthier, happier future.
