Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Macomb, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with the knowledge and support necessary for making sustainable lifestyle changes. Our mission focuses on helping participants achieve two key goals: losing 7% of their body weight and increasing physical activity to at least 150 minutes each week. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 sessions that foster a sense of community and encouragement among those with shared health objectives. Each session, facilitated by a trained Lifestyle Coach, covers essential topics such as healthy eating, physical activity, and positive behavior modifications, all aimed at reducing the risk of diabetes and enhancing overall well-being. Join us on this journey towards a healthier future together.
