Diabetes Prevention Program
Hockomock Area YMCA
The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program in North Dartmouth, MA, is a vital initiative designed to combat the rising prevalence of prediabetes among adults. With an estimated 86 million Americans affected, and a staggering 89% unaware of their risk, our program plays a crucial role in prevention. Backed by National Institutes of Health research, this program has been shown to reduce new cases of type 2 diabetes by 58% overall and a remarkable 71% in individuals over 60. Participants engage in a supportive group setting led by trained lifestyle coaches, focusing on healthier eating, increased physical activity, and meaningful behavior changes tailored to individual goals. Over the course of a year, members benefit from weekly sessions that foster camaraderie and accountability, all aimed at achieving weight loss of at least 7% and maintaining a physical activity level of 150 minutes per week. This program not only educates but also empowers participants to take control of their health, with a complimentary YMCA membership provided throughout the journey. Join us and take the first step towards a healthier future, reducing your risk for diabetes with the guidance of a community that genuinely cares.
