Diabetes Prevention Program

Diabetes Prevention Program

Since being in the program, I’ve lost 22 pounds and still dropping! My activity level has increased and I’m feeling fit. My blood pressure has dropped about 20 points and I feel very confident that I can keep this going. By the end of this program, I am confident that Diabetes will not be a part of my life. Thanks to ECHN and to the Diabetes Prevention Staff!

Diabetes Prevention Program

Take Charge of Your Health with PreventT2 The PreventT2 program is more than a class—it’s a proven, CDC-backed lifestyle change program built for real people with busy lives. No fad diets. No gimmicks. Just the support, tools, and accountability you need to finally build lasting healthy habits. Imagine this: if you weigh 200 pounds and lose just 5%, that’s 10 pounds gone—enough to boost your energy and improve your health in a big way. On top of that, participants typically lower their A1C by 0.2–0.4%, often moving closer to (or even back into) the normal range. That means you’re not just losing weight—you’re slashing your risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 58% (71% if you’re over 60). With 16 weekly sessions, 6 monthly check-ins, flexible schedules (day, evening, in-person, or virtual), and expert lifestyle coaches—you’ll learn how to eat smarter, move more, manage stress, and stay motivated. Add in group support, and you’ve got a program that doesn’t just promise results—it delivers them. Quick & Easy Eligibility ✔️ Age: 18+ ✔️ BMI: 25+ (or 23+ if Asian American) ✔️ No current diabetes diagnosis ✔️ Prediabetes confirmed by recent lab results (A1C 5.7–6.4%, FPG 100–125, or OGTT 140–199), prior gestational diabetes, or a score of 5+ on the Prediabetes Risk Test 👉 Upcoming sessions: Wed, Sept 24 at 10 am (Virtual) Tue, Oct 14 at 12 pm (Virtual) Tue, Oct 21 at 6 pm (In person/Virtual)
