The Diabetes Prevention Program in Madison, CT, offers a supportive environment for individuals looking to adopt healthier lifestyles and reduce their risk of diabetes. Over a 12-week Intensive Lifestyle Intervention, participants engage in weekly one-hour classes that focus on nutrition education tailored specifically for low-literate and predominantly Latino participants. The curriculum is based on the esteemed National Institutes of Health's Diabetes Prevention Program, ensuring relevance and effectiveness. Each session includes cooking demonstrations with fresh produce harvested from our own garden, providing hands-on learning experiences. The program fosters community by encouraging family involvement; when one member enrolls, their family is invited to join, reinforcing the idea that diabetes affects the entire family unit. Adults also have the opportunity to participate in professional trainer-led exercise classes, while children enjoy their own activities in dedicated exercise classes and onsite childcare. Our goal is to empower individuals and families alike to make informed lifestyle choices that can lead to lasting health improvements.
