Are you Ready to Make a Lifestyle Change?

Over 84 million Americans now have prediabetes – that’s 1 out of 3 adults! Of those 84 million, 9 out of 10 of them don’t even know they have it.

Congress has authorized the CDC to establish the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP); a public-private initiative to offer evidence-based, cost effective interventions in communities across the United States to prevent type 2 diabetes. The NC Division of Public Health, Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities has established and administered an evidence-based diabetes prevention program (NC MDPP).

Sessions will be offered at nearby sites to make it convenient for you. Incentives such as gifts cards, water bottles, and air fryers will be provided in addition to a trained coach to support you in your health goals.
