Learn more about the national diabetes prevention program

Key component: The Lifestyle Change Program

A key part of the National DPP is the lifestyle change program to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. The year-long program teaches participants to make lasting lifestyle changes—like eating healthier, adding physical activity into their daily routine, and improving coping skills.

To ensure high quality partnerships, CDC recognizes organizations that meet certain standards and show they can achieve results. These standards include following an approved curriculum, facilitation by a trained Lifestyle Coach, and submitting data every 6 months to show that the program is having an impact.

Go to the Registry of All Recognized Organizations to see a full list of CDC-recognized organizations.
