Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Eastpointe, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes by providing the essential tools and unwavering support needed for achieving lasting lifestyle changes. Our program focuses on two key objectives: losing 7% of body weight and increasing physical activity to 150 minutes each week. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 sessions, led by trained Lifestyle Coaches within a nurturing group environment where shared goals foster motivation and connection. Together, we delve into healthier eating habits, physical activity, and effective behavior modifications to pave the way for a happier, healthier life. Join us on this transformative journey toward better health and well-being.
