Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program

St. Luke's Hospital Nutrition Wellness and Diabetes Center Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a Medicare-covered lifestyle change program for participants 60 and older to help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. This program is backed by years of research and recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is proven to lower the risk for type 2 diabetes among participants who follow the program and lose 5 - 7 percent of their body weight.

Participants will meet in a group setting for 16 core sessions over a six-month period. The sessions cover a number of topics including making lasting changes around diet and exercise, and strategies to control your weight. Once you complete the core sessions, you'll receive six monthly follow-up sessions to help you maintain your healthy habits.
