Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Grandville, MI is here to empower individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with the skills and support needed to adopt lasting healthy lifestyle changes. Our program focuses on two primary objectives: achieving a 7% reduction in body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes each week. Participants engage in 25 sessions over one year, guided by trained Lifestyle Coaches within a nurturing group setting that fosters connection and encouragement. Through education on healthier eating, physical activity, and behavior modification, we equip our participants with the tools they need to lead happier, healthier lives.
