The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) in Silver Spring, MD, is dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their health through a comprehensive, year-long initiative focused on preventing type 2 diabetes. Participants benefit from engaging small group sessions that emphasize healthy eating, effective weight management, and the importance of physical activity, aiming for a 5-7% reduction in body weight and an increase in weekly exercise to at least 150 minutes. With a strong foundation in health and nutrition education, the DPP ensures that each participant receives the support and resources needed to foster lasting, positive lifestyle changes.
