Diabetes Prevention Program

Hockomock Area YMCA

The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program, offered by the Hockomock Area YMCA in Attleboro, MA, is dedicated to fighting the rise of type 2 diabetes among adults, especially the estimated 86 million Americans who have prediabetes without even knowing it. Through a year-long, evidence-based program facilitated by trained lifestyle coaches, participants will learn how to implement healthier eating habits, increase physical activity, and make sustainable behavior changes together in a supportive group environment. The program is designed to encourage participants to lose 7% of their body weight and gain confidence and energy, while collectively empowering each other to achieve common health goals. With a focus on actionable strategies and community connection, individuals will benefit from weekly sessions that evolve to bi-weekly and monthly check-ins, ensuring that they stay motivated to maintain their progress. This program not only promotes a healthier lifestyle but also provides a YMCA membership throughout the duration of the program, reinforcing the importance of wellness and support. By reducing the risk of diabetes by up to 58%, participants are taking invaluable steps toward a better, healthier future.
