<p class="MsoNormal"><b>About the National Diabetes Prevention Program<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An estimated 79 million Americans (about 1 in 3) have prediabetes, which means that a person has a blood sugar reading that is higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. The National Diabetes Prevention Program
(National DPP) can reduce the risk for transitioning from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes by 58%. The National DPP is a year-long program (16 weekly sessions followed by monthly meetings for the balance of the year) led by trained Lifestyle Coaches. The primary
goals of the National DPP are that participants experience a 7% weight loss and average 150 minutes of physical activity on a weekly basis over the course of the program.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:4.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A growing number of organizations are offering the National DPP in communities across the U.S. These organizations run the gamut from small community-based organizations serving specific populations, to large health systems. You can
see a list of organizations in Oregon that are offering (or preparing to offer) the National DPP here:
<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/prevention/recognition/states/Oregon.htm">http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/prevention/recognition/states/Oregon.htm</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:4.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lifestyle Coaches come from all walks of life. Some coaches are medical providers and some aren’t. The only requirement of a Lifestyle Coach is that he or she is comfortable leading a group.
<o:p></o:p></p>
