Diabetes Prevention at the YMCA
The New York State Diabetes Prevention and Control Program is partnering with the New York State Health Foundation and the New York State YMCA Foundation to offer the NYS YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program (NYS Y-DPP). The NYS Y-DPP was designed and researched by the Indiana University School of Medicine to aid in the prevention of diabetes for individuals who have pre-diabetes.
The program meets for 16 weeks in a group setting where personal lifestyle goals are set for each individual. Each one-hour session will cover diet, exercise and behavior modification to help participants achieve two primary goals:
- Reduce and maintain individual weight loss by 5-7%
- Participate in regular physical activity
Though lifestyle change is not easy, the goals set for the NYS Y-DPP participants are achievable. Each of us can work to reduce diabetes by supporting these lifestyle changes in ourselves, our families and in our communities.
To register for the program, contact Ed Duvinski at 845.344.9622 ext. 233 or email eduvinski@middletownymca.org
