Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program in Ypsilanti, MI, empowers individuals at risk for Type 2 diabetes to embrace healthy lifestyle changes through guidance and community support. Our mission is clear: we help participants achieve significant milestones, including a 7% weight loss and increasing physical activity to 150 minutes weekly. Over the span of 25 interactive sessions, participants benefit from the expertise of trained Lifestyle Coaches and connect with peers who share similar goals, fostering a nurturing environment for learning about nutritious eating, physical activity, and sustainable behavior changes. Join us in taking the essential steps towards a healthier, happier future.
