Diabetes Prevention Program

The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program in Monroeville, PA, is dedicated to empowering adults at risk of Type 2 diabetes with the knowledge and skills necessary to make lasting lifestyle changes. In a supportive, small-group setting, participants engage in discussions about healthy eating, physical activity, behavior modifications, and weight loss strategies that lower their diabetes risk and enhance overall health. This comprehensive program provides essential health and nutrition education, promoting sustainable habits for better well-being. With new classes regularly forming at various YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh locations, everyone is welcome to join, regardless of YMCA membership status. Participants in the program also enjoy access to a range of YMCA services and may find that costs are covered by health insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare. A three-month YMCA membership is included, reinforcing a community of support and wellness.
