Sneak Peek Into the Lifestyle Change Program
Let me introduce myself if this is your first time on Starts on the Inside. I’m Margaret, a diabetes educator and a member of the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists and the American Diabetes Association. In 2025, I will offer diabetes prevention lifestyle coaching. If you have prediabetes, participating in the CDC-recognized National Diabetes Prevention Lifestyle Change Program can cut your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by more than half and help you improve your overall health.
What is the Diabetes Prevention Program
Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is an evidence-based year-long lifestyle change program to help participants at risk for type 2 diabetes adopt sustainable, healthy lifestyle choices and achieve weight loss. In this article, I wanted to give you a Sneak Peek Into the Diabetes Prevention Program.
Who Can Participate in the DPP
The National DPP lifestyle change program is designed for people 18 years or older who have prediabetes or who are at risk for type 2 diabetes but who do not already have type 2 diabetes.
What are the Goals of the DPP
The two major goals of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle intervention are a minimum of 7% weight loss/weight maintenance and a minimum of 150 min of physical activity similar in intensity to brisk walking. Don’t let these goals scare you. The program is centered around giving participants the tools to achieve them.
What is Included in the DPP Program
The Diabetes Prevention Program is a year-long program; participants have access to trained lifestyle coaches who will introduce lifestyle changes such as better nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, and avoiding unhealthy triggers—without disrupting their lives.

Diabetes Coaching
If you have already been diagnosed with diabetes, then a separate program that is tailored for those with diabetes would be a better fit for helping you reach your health goals. I will be offering separate coaching courses and education services just for you!
