This program (see full description) is a fun, supportive and literally life-changing program that requires attending a one-hour class every week for the first six months and then at least once a month for the remaining six months of the program.

12 Month Program - DPP/Prevent T2 (diabetes) Lifestyle Change

The CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program helps people with prediabetes

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-
