The Diabetes Prevention Program in Orange, CT, is dedicated to empowering individuals and families through healthy lifestyle changes designed to prevent diabetes. Over the course of a 12-week intensive lifestyle intervention, participants engage in weekly one-hour classes grounded in the National Institutes of Health's curriculum. Our program specifically caters to the needs of the low-literate and predominantly Latino community, providing vital nutrition education and hands-on cooking demonstrations that highlight seasonal produce from our own garden. Each session fosters a supportive environment where participants not only learn about healthy eating but can also join exercise classes led by professional trainers. Understanding the importance of family in health, we invite participants to bring their loved ones along, creating a holistic approach to wellness that includes children and infants in engaging activities. Together, we strive to cultivate healthier lifestyles and prevent diabetes within our community.
