National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP)

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) is a research-based initiative aimed at helping people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes prevent or delay the condition. Through structured lifestyle changes, such as improving diet, increasing physical activity, and achieving modest weight loss, participants can significantly reduce their risk. The program typically involves coaching, group support, and ongoing motivation over a year. It is accessible through healthcare providers and community organizations, offering a practical approach to managing health before diabetes fully develops, thereby reducing associated health complications and medical costs.
