The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a research-backed initiative designed to help people at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes delay or prevent its onset. It focuses on lifestyle changes such as losing a small amount of weight, eating healthier, and increasing physical activity. Participants work with healthcare professionals to set realistic goals, leading to improved blood sugar control. The program emphasizes sustainable habits that can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes, ultimately promoting long-term health and well-being through manageable lifestyle modifications.
