Diabetes Prevention Program

Diabetes Prevention Program (CDC-Recognized)

The Charmony Foundation Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a CDC-recognized, evidence-based lifestyle change program designed to help individuals reduce their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes through structured education, coaching, and sustainable behavior change.

This program focuses on improving long-term health through practical, achievable lifestyle modifications.

Why This Program Matters

Millions of individuals are at risk for Type 2 diabetes, yet many do not have access to structured prevention programs that provide ongoing support and accountability.

Without intervention, prediabetes can progress into Type 2 diabetes — a chronic condition that significantly impacts quality of life and healthcare outcomes.

Early prevention makes a difference.
