Application/Key learning points: This section is a superior best practice resource. CDC is one of the major operating components of the United States’ Department of Health and Human Services. CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) is a public-private partnership to offer affordable, evidence-based, high-quality interventions in communities across the United States to prevent Type 2 diabetes and improve overall health. The five-minute video shows how Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by making lifestyle changes that include weight loss and more physical activity. People with prediabetes talk about how group lifestyle coaching classes offered as part of CDC’s National DPP effectively help them learn and keep healthy habits, and prevent Type 2 diabetes. Research trials have shown that classes can reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes by nearly 60 per cent in people at elevated risk. More information about the National DDP, including online quizzes and information about research and screening tests, is available here.
