The Diabetes Prevention Program in Oxford, CT, is dedicated to empowering individuals and families through a comprehensive 12-week Intensive Lifestyle Intervention focused on healthy living. Each week, participants engage in a one-hour class that follows the National Institutes of Health’s Diabetes Prevention Program curriculum, specifically tailored to meet the needs of the low literate and predominantly Latino community. Our program emphasizes nutrition education, featuring cooking demonstrations that utilize fresh produce from our own garden, ensuring a connection to local and healthy eating. Classes not only foster knowledge but also provide a supportive environment where adults participate in exercise sessions led by professional trainers, while children are cared for in separate exercise classes and onsite childcare. Valuing the role of family in health, we encourage family members of participants to join in our nutrition sessions, reinforcing the message that diabetes prevention is a collective effort.
