- Increase physical activity to 150 minutes a week
The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is an evidence-based program designed to help people with a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Together these positive changes help reduce your chances of developing the disease. Based on research funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, programs like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program may reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes by 58 percent.
