Diabetes Prevention Program

Take Control of your Health-One Small Step at a Time

A Year of Support for Just $100

You don't have to make big changes all at once to make a meaningful difference in your health.

The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program is a year-long program designed to help adults at risk for developing type 2 diabetes make realistic, lasting changes to their food choices, physical activity and everyday habits.

For just $100, you'll receive a full year of guidance, encouragement and support from a trained Lifestyle Coach—plus tools to help you stay on track long after the first few weeks. Financial assistance is available to help make the program accessible.

Why Should I participate in the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program?

Get Support That Lasts All Year -This isn't a quick-fix program or a short-term challenge. You'll participate in 26 sessions throughout the year, with more frequent meetings during the first six months and continued support during the second half of the program.

Make Changes That Fit Your Real Life - You'll learn practical strategies for making healthier food choices and increasing physical activity without trying to completely change your life overnight.

Have Someone in Your Corner - Your trained Lifestyle Coach will help you set realistic goals, work through challenges and celebrate your progress along the way.

Keep Your Goals in Your Pocket - You'll have access to the HabitNu app, which can help you track things like food intake, weight and other healthy habits between sessions.

Build Habits for the Long Term - The goal isn't simply to finish a program. It's to give you the knowledge, tools and support you need to continue making healthy choices after the program ends.
