Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) at the YMCA in Battle Creek, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to make sustainable lifestyle changes that promote health and well-being. Our program focuses on helping participants achieve two key goals: losing 7% of their body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes each week. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 supportive sessions led by trained Lifestyle Coaches, where they learn about healthy eating, physical activity, and behavior modification in a welcoming environment. Join us in taking impactful steps towards a healthier future together.
