Diabetes Prevention Program

The CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program helps people with pre-diabetes make lasting lifestyle changes to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

Description:   What is prediabetes?   Your blood sugar is higher than normal 

but it is not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes (type 2 diabetes). 

If you have prediabetes, you are more likely to  

1. Get diabetes 

2. Get heart disease 

3. Experience a stroke.  * 

Are you at risk for diabetes?   One out of every three Americans has prediabetes 

and 9 out of 10  don’t even know it.   You can take the test online at:  

https://www.cdc.gov/prediabetes/takethetest/

Working with a trained Lifestyle Coach in a CDC recognized organization,  you’ll 

learn to eat healthy, add physical activity into your life, and manage stress. With 

other participants, you’ll celebrate successes and work to overcome challenges.  

Pathway of Health follows the strict curriculum of the evidence-based CDC 

program of lifestyle change  for anyone who is at risk with pre-diabetes.   You must 

be 18 and not pregnant to qualify for this program and you cannot have been 

diagnosed of diabetes.   You will be attending support group meetings every week 

for the first six months of this program and then at least once a month (depending 

on your group’s preference) for the last 6 months.   More information about this 

program can be found at:  https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/prevention/lcp-

details.html.

It's not just a program! It's your Life!

Many insurance companies as well as employers will pay for this program.  

Check with your employer and/or your  private insurer.
