Frequently Asked Questions
-
We currently support DPP and DSMP organizations.
A Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is an evidence-based, year-long lifestyle intervention designed to help people with prediabetes reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Programs typically focus on nutrition, physical activity, weight loss, and behavior change and are often delivered in group settings.
A Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) helps people already living with diabetes build skills to manage their condition. Programs focus on medication adherence, blood sugar monitoring, nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and problem-solving.
Research shows that DPPs can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58% (and more for older adults). DSMPs are associated with improved A1c levels, better medication adherence, and improved quality of life.
