Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Owosso, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to proactively make significant lifestyle changes. Our mission revolves around equipping participants with essential skills and meaningful support to promote a healthier, happier life. By focusing on two central objectives—losing 7% of body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes each week—our program fosters realistic and manageable steps towards better health. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 sessions, guided by trained Lifestyle Coaches who facilitate small group discussions on healthier eating habits, increased physical activity, and sustainable behavior modifications. Join us in creating a supportive environment where you can achieve your health goals and lower your diabetes risk.
