YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program (YDPP)

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program (YDPP) in Keller, TX, is dedicated to supporting individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes by promoting healthy lifestyle changes. Grounded in research from the groundbreaking Diabetes Prevention Program, YDPP empowers participants through comprehensive health and diabetes education, as well as encouraging physical activity and weight management. Studies indicate that making these small adjustments can significantly cut the risk of diabetes onset by up to 58 percent. To join the program, individuals must be at least 18 years old, possess a BMI of 25 or higher, and have a diagnosis of prediabetes or a history of gestational diabetes. This program is not suited for those already diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
