Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Lapeer, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with the essential skills and unwavering support needed to foster lasting, healthy lifestyle transformations. By focusing on achievable goals such as losing 7% of your body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week, participants are guided on a journey toward a happier, healthier life. Over the course of a year, attendees engage in 25 sessions led by trained Lifestyle Coaches, providing an encouraging environment where small groups can explore healthier eating habits, enhance physical activity, and adopt beneficial behavior changes. Join us to take proactive steps in preventing diabetes together with a community that shares your aspirations for better health.
