Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

Located in Swartz Creek, MI, the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to achieve lasting lifestyle changes. This supportive program focuses on two key goals: safely losing 7% of body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 informative sessions led by trained Lifestyle Coaches, where they learn practical strategies for healthier eating and proactive behavior modifications. We believe that with the right tools and a network of encouragement, everyone can foster a happier, healthier life.
