Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

At the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Temperance, MI, we empower individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to take charge of their health through practical skills and unwavering support. Our mission is to guide participants in making manageable lifestyle changes that can significantly lower their risk of developing diabetes while enhancing their overall quality of life. With a focus on losing 7% of body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes each week, participants engage in a year-long journey comprising 25 interactive sessions. Led by trained Lifestyle Coaches, these sessions foster a nurturing environment where individuals come together to learn about healthier eating habits, physical activity, and sustainable behavior changes that lead to lasting results. Join us in creating a healthier community together.
