In Millville, NJ, the Y Diabetes Prevention Program empowers individuals at high risk for type 2 diabetes to embrace healthier lifestyles and significantly lower their risk of developing this condition. Rooted in the renowned Diabetes Prevention Program by NIH and CDC, our initiative demonstrates that simple changes—like improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, and achieving modest weight loss—can reduce the onset of type 2 diabetes by up to 58%. Participants benefit from a supportive, small group environment led by a trained lifestyle coach over 16 engaging one-hour sessions, where they delve into crucial topics such as nutrition, starting a physical activity routine, managing stress, and staying motivated. Following the core sessions, participants continue to receive monthly support for up to a year, ensuring they maintain their progress and enhance their overall health.
