Prevent T2 is a lifestyle change program led by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). It is a proven program that has been shown to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in high risk patients. It is an in-person program with participants meeting in groups to learn about healthy eating, physical activity, problem solving, stress reduction, and coping skills. The groups will meet once weekly for the first 6 months, then once or twice a month for the second 6 months to maintain the skills and information they have learned.

HI DPP - Online

HI DPP is an online 12-month lifestyle change program where each participant is assigned a personal health coach and online peer support for 12 months. Participants may access this online program through their smartphone, tablet, or computer. HI DPP offers the participants interactive and engaging online video lessons, easy tracking for their exercise and nutrition, and unlimited private feedback and consultation with the personal health coach throughout the 12 months.
