Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

At the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in White Lake, MI, we empower individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to transform their lives through practical skills and supportive community engagement. Our mission is to guide participants in making sustainable lifestyle changes that lead to healthier living. By focusing on two key objectives—losing 7% of body weight and achieving 150 minutes of physical activity each week—we aim to significantly reduce the risk of diabetes. Over the course of a year, participants join a series of 25 interactive sessions led by a trained Lifestyle Coach, where they learn about healthy eating, physical fitness, and effective behavior modification in a nurturing environment. Together, we foster a path to wellness, equipping you with the tools needed to achieve a happier, healthier future.
