The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) is a program proven to motivate and support people at risk for developing diabetes and those with prediabetes to make practical, real-life changes and cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by more than half. The program can show you how to make better food choices, be more physically active and find helpful ways to cope with problems and stress.

You’ll work with a trained lifestyle coach and a small group of people who share the same goal. MSU Extension has achieved full program recognition from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The program consists of 16 weekly sessions within the first 6 months followed by 6 monthly sessions.
