Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Walled Lake, MI, is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to take charge of their health. With a focus on creating sustainable lifestyle changes, this program supports participants in achieving two key objectives: losing 7% of body weight and increasing physical activity to a minimum of 150 minutes each week. Over the course of 25 engaging sessions throughout the year, participants benefit from the guidance of trained Lifestyle Coaches and the encouragement of a supportive group, all working towards common health goals. By emphasizing healthier eating and active living, the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program helps individuals build the skills and confidence necessary to lead happier, healthier lives.
