Diabetes Prevention:
Big Rewards, Small Steps
The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program is a community-based lifestyle
improvement program for adults with pre-diabetes. Its purpose is to
empower adults with lasting lifestyle changes that will improve their
overall health and reduce their chance of developing Type II diabetes.
Currently, diabetes affects nearly 26 million people. Another 79 million
have pre-diabetes and are at risk of developing diabetes.
Research by the National Institute of Health has shown that programs
like the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program reduce the number of new
cases of diabetes by 58% overall and 71% in individuals over age 60.
