About Diabetes Prevention Program
The Diabetes Prevention Program in Wallingford, CT offers a supportive, engaging environment tailored to promote healthier lifestyles for participants, particularly within the low-literate and predominantly Latino community. Our 12-week Intensive Lifestyle Intervention includes a one-hour weekly healthy lifestyle class, grounded in the curriculum from the National Institutes of Health. Each session features nutrition education and lively cooking demonstrations that incorporate fresh produce harvested from our own garden, allowing for a hands-on learning experience. We encourage family involvement by inviting loved ones of participants to join, reflecting our understanding that diabetes is a family-oriented disease. Additionally, participants can enhance their journey with a professionally led exercise class following the nutrition session, while children take part in their own exercise classes and onsite childcare is available for infants and toddlers. Join us in a community-focused approach to health and wellness that empowers individuals and families to combat diabetes together.
