The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a year-long, lifestyle and health behavior change program that is available at NO COST to Highmark Delaware members who meet program eligibility criteria. The DPP is evidence-based, recognized by the CDC and can help participants eat healthier, increase physical activity, lose weight, overcome stress, boost energy and reduce risk of chronic conditions including type 2 diabetes.
Highmark Delaware members can choose one of two options when participating in the DPP:
-
In-person, small group program through the YMCA
Over the course of 25 one-hour sessions in a relaxed classroom setting (YMCA branches, community sites or worksites), a trained Lifestyle Coach teaches participants skills that will help them lead a healthy lifestyle. As added benefits through the YMCA of Delaware, participants will receive up to 4 FREE months of family membership at the YMCA of Delaware!
