Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

In Waterford, MI, the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program is dedicated to empowering individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes by providing essential skills and unwavering support necessary for achieving lasting lifestyle changes. Our program focuses on two key objectives: losing 7% of your body weight and gradually increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week. Participants engage in 25 informative sessions throughout the year, led by trained Lifestyle Coaches who foster a supportive environment filled with others who share similar goals. Together, we emphasize healthy eating habits, physical activity, and sustainable behavior changes, guiding you toward a happier, healthier life while actively reducing your diabetes risk.
