UCSC Diabetes Prevention Program: 

Starting July 11th

Did you know that one in three Americans has a condition called prediabetes—and 90% of them don’t know it?
Prediabetes is a health condition that not only puts you at risk for type 2 diabetes, it also puts you at risk of heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. Several health factors can increase your risk of developing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, such as weight, inactivity, a history of gestational diabetes, or a family history of type 2 diabetes.

UC Health has developed a new program called the University of California Diabetes Prevention Program (UC DPP) to help people with prediabetes and those who are at risk for type 2 diabetes decrease their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This program is a free on-campus resource for UC faculty, staff and their families. 
The UC Diabetes Prevention Program is a campus-based, small-group program that uses a scientifically based approach developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help you make important lifestyle changes. Trained lifestyle coaches lead 22 one-hour sessions over the course of a year in which you’ll learn healthy habits that stick, including how to lose up to 5% to 7% of your weight—and keep it off—while significantly reducing your chance of developing type 2 diabetes.
For more information, and to sign up for our next cohort, please visit our website.
If you would like to learn more about our program in a live information session, sign up for our presentation on June 27th at 5:15 p.m.
