diabetes prevention programs

Diabetes prevention programs (DPPs) are designed to help individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes by promoting healthier lifestyle choices. These programs typically include education on nutrition, physical activity, and weight management. Participants receive support and coaching to make sustainable changes, such as increasing exercise and adopting a balanced diet, which can lower their chances of developing diabetes. DPPs have been shown to be effective in delaying or preventing the onset of diabetes, ultimately improving overall health and reducing healthcare costs.
