Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Utica, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes with essential skills and supportive resources to create lasting healthy lifestyle changes. Participants are guided toward achieving two primary objectives: losing 7% of their body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week. Over the course of a year, you will engage in 25 interactive sessions led by trained Lifestyle Coaches within a supportive group of peers who share similar health goals. This program focuses on practical strategies that promote healthier eating, increased physical activity, and positive behavior modifications, helping you take proactive steps toward a healthier future.
