our Health in Harmony lifestyle program Self-led

In the US it is estimated that 37 million people have diabetes and 96 million people have prediabetes. That means one in three Americans has prediabetes!

Could one of them be you? Why should you care about prediabetes? 

Because the sooner you know you have prediabetes, the sooner you can take action to reverse it and prevent  type 2 diabetes. Learn more here and take the risk test.

If you have prediabetes, the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) can help you lower your risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

The National Diabetes Prevention Program is based on the success of the National Institutes of Health-led Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). Research has demonstrated that the risk for transitioning from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes can be reduced by 58% via a lifestyle program of healthy eating, regular physical activity and modest weight loss.

During the program you will receive lifestyle coaching along with support from others in the group with prediabetes to help you improve your health. You will track your food intake and physical activity, as well as participate in group discussions (if you want to) on how to overcome barriers to making healthy lifestyle choices for you.

• 26 lessons you learn*at*your*pace in a virtual classroom. Lessons start off weekly and then move into a fading cycle.
• This program offers one full year of support in total!   

During the first half of the program, the focus is on:

• Eating healthy without giving up the foods you love.
• Becoming more physically active with joyful movement.
• Managing stress by turning CALM ON with evidence based tools and techniques.
• Dealing with challenges that can make it difficult to choose healthy food (even when you're out).
• Staying on track toward goals and getting back on track when life knocks you off course (because life gets stormy).

In the second half of the program, you will enhance the skills you’ve learned so you can maintain the changes you’ve made. These sessions will review what's working and what you want to work on. Tools such as tracking your food, physical activity, goal setting, staying motivated, and problem solving to overcome barriers.

This program uses the Health And Lifestyle Training platform (HALT).
