Diabetes Prevention Program

Empower Your Health (CDC Diabetes Prevention Program)

Thursdays starting October 24 | 10:30AM – 12:00PM | Ages 18+

We’re here to give you the encouragement you need to eat better, increase your physical activity and lose weight – all of which can delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. This National Program has been proven to be very effective in empowering individuals to take control of their health. At Family Wellness, this program will also include cooking classes and group fitness instruction to further educate participants and encourage participation. Family Wellness is dedicated to healthy lifestyles – not a quick fix but a permanent solution!

• Theme: Emphasize the overarching goal of preventing type 2 diabetes.
• Focus on making lasting lifestyle changes, rather than simply completing the curriculum.
• Build up to moderate changes in diet and physical activity that lead to 5% to 7% weight loss in the first 6 months.
• Discuss strategies for self-monitoring of diet and physical activity, building participant self-efficacy and social support to maintain lifestyle changes, and problem-solving to overcome common weight loss, physical activity, and healthy eating challenges.
