(NDPP)
-
The National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change program can help patients build healthy new habits that last a lifetime.

When patients join the program, you’ll learn, laugh, share stories, and try new things.

Studies have shown that people with prediabetes who participate in a structured lifestyle change program like the National DPP can cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% (71% for people over 60 years old)
The NDPP Program:
-
The NDPP is a year-long program offered in person, online, or through a combination, with 16 weekly sessions in the first 6 months and 6 monthly sessions in the second 6 months.

Trained Lifestyle Coaches, who may be health professionals or non-licensed personnel, lead the program.
-
The program includes group support, typically with 10-25 participants, though online groups may be larger.
-
CDC-recognized organizations can use a CDC-developed curriculum, create their own for CDC approval, or use another CDC-approved curriculum.

The PreventT2 curriculum is available in English and Spanish, with cultural adaptations for the Spanish version.

Thousands of CDC-recognized organizations offer the program across the U.S.
Lifestyle Coach Training for Diabetes Prevention Programs

Training with IPDC and ADCES teaches you to provide person-centered care, collaborate with the diabetes care team, and use strategies to enroll, engage, and retain program participants.
CDC’s Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP)
