NIH National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP)

The NIH National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) is a government-backed initiative focused on helping adults at risk for type 2 diabetes reduce their chances of developing the disease. Through structured lifestyle change programs, participants learn evidence-based strategies like healthy eating, regular physical activity, and weight management. Delivered in community settings, the program aims to empower individuals with practical tools, encouraging sustainable habits to improve overall health and prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. It’s a large-scale effort to address the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes through prevention and education.
