Overview
The National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change program was developed specifically to prevent type 2 diabetes. It was designed for people who have prediabetes or are at risk for type 2 diabetes but don't already have diabetes.
A trained Lifestyle Coach leads the program. They help you change certain lifestyle habits, like eating healthier, reducing stress, and getting more physical activity. The program also includes group support from others who share your goals and struggles. It's delivered both in person and online.
This lifestyle change program is not a fad diet or an exercise class. And it's not a quick fix. It's a yearlong program focused on long-term changes and lasting results
A year might sound like a long commitment, but learning new habits, gaining new skills, and building confidence takes time. As you begin to eat better and become more active, you'll notice changes in how you feel. You may even notice changes in how you look.
About Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes
What are prediabetes and diabetes?
Having prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes. Prediabetes can often be reversed.
Take the test
Find out if you are at risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. A print version of the Prediabetes Risk Test is also available.
In the United States, about 1 in 3 adults has prediabetes, and more than 8 in 10 of them don't know they have it. Without taking action, many people with prediabetes could develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years.
With type 2 diabetes, your body can't effectively use insulin (a hormone that helps glucose get into the cells of the body). You can get type 2 diabetes at any age, but certain factors increase your risk.
