Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Rockford, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with the essential skills and encouragement needed to foster lasting healthy lifestyle changes. Here, we focus on helping participants achieve two primary objectives: a 7% reduction in body weight and a gradual increase in physical activity to at least 150 minutes each week. Over the course of 25 sessions throughout the year, you’ll join a supportive community of like-minded individuals, guided by a trained Lifestyle Coach as you explore healthier eating habits, enhance physical activity, and implement positive behavior changes. Together, we can create a path toward a happier, healthier life, prioritizing wellness and prevention for all.
