WHAT IS NDPP?

This course is a year-long lifestyle change program. You’ll learn, laugh, share stories, try new things and build new habits — all while lowering your risk of type 2 diabetes and improving your heath.

WHO QUALIFIES?

For anyone who qualifies through our pre-screening process for being at risk for diabetes. Please fill out our PRE-SCREENING FORM and return by email to [email protected] or at the Member Services Desk at the Y.

WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM?

• Eat healthy without giving up all the foods you love
• Add physical activity to your life, even if you don’t think you have time
• Deal with stress
• Cope with challenges that can derail your hard work - like how to choose healthy food when eating out
• Get back on track if you stray from your plan - because everyone slips now and then
