About Diabetes Prevention Program
The Diabetes Prevention Program in Seymour, CT, is dedicated to empowering individuals and families to adopt healthier lifestyles through a comprehensive 12-week Intensive Lifestyle Intervention. Each week, participants engage in a transformative one-hour healthy lifestyle class that includes nutrition education and hands-on cooking demonstrations, showcasing fresh produce from our program's garden. Designed specifically for a low-literate, predominantly Latino community, our curriculum, based on the National Institutes of Health's guidelines, focuses on practical, culturally relevant solutions for preventing diabetes. Each session not only fosters valuable dietary knowledge but also encourages family involvement, as we invite relatives to join the journey towards better health. Participants often extend their commitment by joining a professional trainer-led exercise class that follows the nutrition session, with dedicated activities for children and onsite childcare for infants and toddlers. Our program recognizes that battling diabetes is a collective effort, and we are here to support every family member in making positive lifestyle changes.
