Diabetes Prevention Program

The T2 curriculum, also known as the PreventT2 curriculum, is a 12-month lifestyle change program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to prevent type 2 diabetes. Participants are encouraged by Lifestyle coach facilitators to make small habit changes that promote modest weight loss and improve nutrition. They receive continual peer support and are able to monitor their progress by analyzing their metabolic labs at the beginning and the end of the program.
