Prediabetes Program
Diabetes Prevention Program
Details about the Program
In the first 6 months, participants will meet weekly for 1 hour to learn to:
- Eat healthy without giving up all the foods they love
- Add physical activity into their busy schedules
- Deal with stress
- Cope with challenges that can derail their hard work—like how to choose healthy food when eating out
- Get back on track if they stray from their plan—because everyone slips now and then
In the second 6 months, they will meet monthly for 1 hour to build on the skills they’ve learned and maintain their positive changes. They will review key concepts such as setting goals, tracking food and physical activity, staying motivated, and overcoming barriers.
