Diabetes Prevention Program
The YMCA of Delaware is launching a Diabetes Prevention program that was designed and researched by the Indiana
University School of Medicine. The original program proved to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 58% when individuals with pre-diabetes made lifestyle changes related to food choices and exercise.

The YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program is a 16-session program developed to reduce the risk of diabetes in individuals with
pre-diabetes. Each one-hour session per week will cover diet, exercise, and behavior modification to help participants achieve two primary goals:
• Reduce body weight by 7%.
• Participate in regular physical activity.

The program will be offered at YMCA of Delaware branches or in nearby community centers throughout the state. In order to qualify for the program, participants must be at high risk for developing diabetes, which can be determined by getting a blood test to check your blood sugar levels.

Program Cost: $50 for YMCA members; $100 non-YMCA Members
Financial Assistance is available through the YMCA Open Doors Program for those who qualify. For more information or to sign up for the program, please contact Joanna Zaremba, Director of Healthy Living at 302-571-6998 or jzaremba@ymcade.org.
