Serious & Common

According to the CDC - More than 84 million US adults—that’s 1 in 3—have prediabetes. With prediabetes, blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as diabetes. People with prediabetes are at high risk for type 2 diabetes (the most common type of diabetes), heart disease, and stroke.

In the last 20 years, the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes has more than tripled as the US population has aged and become more overweight. Now more than 30 million Americans have diabetes, which increases their risk for a long list of serious health problems, including:

Heart attack
Stroke
Blindness
Kidney failure
Loss of toes, feet, or legs

The good news: this program Diabetes Prevention Program’s lifestyle change program can help people with prediabetes prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems and improve their overall health. It’s scientifically proven, and it works.

According to the CDC - Medical expenses for people diagnosed with diabetes are more than twice as high as for people without diabetes.

Diabetes Is Expensive

Diabetes has an enormous economic impact on millions of individuals and their families, on workplaces, and on the US health care system.

In 2017, the total estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes was $327 billion ($237 billion in direct medical costs and $90 billion in lost productivity), up 26% over a 5-year period.
About 1 in 4 health care dollars is spent on people with diagnosed diabetes.
Medical expenses for people diagnosed with diabetes—$16,750 annually on average—are about 2.3 times higher than for people without diabetes.

Group Coaching
In an in-person program, you’ll meet face-to-face with group members and the lifestyle coach.

Hands-on demonstrations will help with learning, and the coach will provide handouts with useful information and practice activities.

Most in-person sessions have three parts:

A review and check-in on weekly progress, which includes a private weigh-in
A discussion about the week’s topic that will give you a chance to learn from the program materials and each other
A wrap-up with a to-do list and handouts to reinforce what you’ve learned

Online Programs
Online programs must be 100% online delivery of sessions with multiple opportunities for live lifestyle coach interaction. They all follow a CDC-approved curriculum and are held to the same standards as in-person programs. They also include use of a lifestyle coach, either in a group format or one-on-one.

Although many online tracking programs can help you log food and physical activity, CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs provide important feedback from a lifestyle coach on what you log so you can make changes to reach your goals.

An online program is a great option if you find it hard to attend regular on-site meetings or there is not an in-person program near you.

Distance Learning
Distance learning programs are yearlong lifestyle change programs delivered 100% by trained Lifestyle Coaches via remote classroom or telehealth (i.e., conference call or Skype) where the Lifestyle Coach is present in one location and participants are calling or video-conferencing in from another location.

This is a great option for participants who want group interaction, but live in remote areas and cannot attend an in-person program.

Combination
Yearlong lifestyle change program delivered as a combination of any of the previously defined delivery modes for all participants by trained Lifestyle Coaches.
