A lifestyle change program designed to cut your risk in half!

 
 

The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension offers the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) across the state. The National DPP is an initiative to address the growing problem of type 2 diabetes. It is a 12-month, group-based program which encourages lifestyle changes shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. The program is designed for those who are at high risk of developing type two diabetes or who have been diagnosed with prediabetes.

One in three adults are estimated to have prediabetes, and most do not know it. In Arizona, this means around 1.8 million adults are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Our program is changing lives by encouraging the following lifestyle modifications:
