Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Traverse City, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with the necessary skills and support to foster lasting healthy lifestyle changes. This program focuses on two core objectives: achieving a 7% weight loss and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week. Over the course of a year, participants engage in 25 supportive sessions led by trained Lifestyle Coaches, where they learn about nutritious eating, active living, and actionable behavior modifications within a warm and encouraging group setting. Join us to take proactive steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
