Diabetes Prevention Program
- 3-month program starting October 1 2023 -
A nationally-acclaimed program developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) can help change your lifestyle to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. The 12-week kick-start program will help guide you from thinking about making changes to taking action that
improves your health and your life.
MyLifeWell is an approved partner of the CDC National Diabetes Prevention Program
Per CDC studies
- 96 million US adults have pre-diabetes.
- 26.4 million adults 65 or older have prediabetes.
- If you have Type 2 Diabetes then the excess medical costs associated with diabetes per year is $9,601.
- Successful completion of the DPP program can cut your risk of getting Type 2 diabetes by 58%
Is this program right for me?
The DPP program has been designed for anyone (18 years and older) who wants to lead a healthy lifestyle irrespective of whether you are at risk of diabetes or not. The key components of the program focus on healthy movement, healthy eating, and stress management to provide a comprehensive outlook to leading a healthy lifestyle. So if you are someone who is looking to get more active and healthy then this program is the right fit for you.
The risk for diabetes is also influenced by age and ethnicity among other factors. You can also check if you are at high risk for pre-diabetes by taking this short survey designed by CDC.
Conversely, this program is also right if you:
1. Had a blood test result in the prediabetes range within the past year (includes any of these tests and results):
- Hemoglobin A1C: 5.7–6.4%.
- Fasting plasma glucose: 110–125 mg/dL.
- 2-hour plasma glucose (after a 75 g glucose load): 140–199 mg/dL.
2. Be previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy).
