Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Southfield, MI, empowers individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to adopt healthier lifestyles through practical skills and a supportive community. Our program centers on two essential goals: achieving a 7% weight loss and increasing physical activity to at least 150 minutes per week. Participants engage in 25 interactive sessions over one year, where they work alongside a trained Lifestyle Coach and peers who share similar health objectives. Together, we focus on healthier eating habits, increased physical activity, and sustainable behavior changes that promote well-being. Join us to take meaningful steps towards a healthier, happier life.
