Are you overweight and have either prediabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol? The National Diabetes Prevention Program starts on March 5, offering you a science-based education and lifestyle training program to help you lose weight and reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a year-long lifestyle change program that is offered at Logan Health every spring and fall and is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To be CDC-recognized, programs such as this one must follow high standards and show that they can achieve results.
Participants learn to make lasting lifestyle changes, like eating healthier, adding physical activity into their daily routine, and improving their coping skills. Classes are facilitated by registered dietitians on Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. Participants in this program also receive a six-month membership to Logan Health Medical Fitness Center.
Please call Diabetes Education & Prevention at (406) 751-5454 to see if you are eligible.
