Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The Diabetes Prevention Program at the YMCA in Lake Orion, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to make meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes. Our program focuses on two essential goals: achieving a 7% reduction in body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to at least 150 minutes per week. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 supportive sessions led by trained Lifestyle Coaches, who guide small groups in exploring healthier eating habits, increasing physical activity, and making key behavior changes. By fostering a warm, encouraging environment, we strive to help you enhance your well-being and reduce your diabetes risk, all while connecting with others who share similar objectives. Join us on this journey towards a happier, healthier life.
