Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Portage, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to adopt healthier lifestyles through practical support and education. Our program focuses on achieving two essential goals: losing 7% of your body weight and increasing physical activity to 150 minutes weekly. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 interactive sessions led by trained Lifestyle Coaches who facilitate discussions on healthy eating, exercise, and sustainable behavior changes in a welcoming group setting. Join us to take proactive steps towards a happier, healthier future and minimize your diabetes risk with a supportive community beside you.
