Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Saint Joseph, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with the skills and support necessary to create sustainable healthy lifestyle changes. Through a structured approach, participants embark on a journey to achieve two key objectives: losing 7% of their body weight and gradually increasing their physical activity to 150 minutes each week. Over the course of 25 engaging sessions within a supportive group environment, trained Lifestyle Coaches guide participants in exploring healthier eating habits, boosting physical activity, and adopting positive behavior changes. Join us to take proactive steps toward a healthier, happier life in a compassionate setting that encourages success and fosters connections.
