Take Control of Your Health—Prevent Type 2 Diabetes with the YMCA

One in three adults has prediabetes, and most don’t know it. The good news is that type 2 diabetes can often be prevented.

The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program (Y-DPP) helps adults at risk for developing type 2 diabetes make lasting lifestyle changes that can improve their overall health.

Could Y-DPP Be Right for You?

Risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes may include:

  • Age
  • Family history of diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Weight
  • A history of gestational diabetes
  • Physical inactivity
