Managing Your Diabetes
Being overweight is the number one cause of Diabetes. The “Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)” is a program focused on how to lose weight in a healthy and constant way.
You may lose 5 to 7% of your weight in the first phase of 16 sessions of 2 hours each and an annual follow-up. The annual follow up includes personal monitoring by a health promotora, free A1C tests, blood pressure, consulting and referral to a clinic for follow up care.
We work with you to prevent Type-2 Diabetes. We start with a 16-week group-based class to help participants:
- Education and how to mangae your diabetes
- Nutrition classes and cooking tips (Cooking Matters)
- A1C (a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes) FREE test
Cohorts start at different times during the year. We highly recommend potential participants call us.

Testimonials
Thanks to the program “Managing your diabetes – education and support” I learned the importance of preparing all my meals (especially when suffering from diabetes), and before I did not eat breakfast. I am also being more active; I exercise more and improve my diet… I am more aware of how to take better care of my health.
Before participating in the program “Managing your diabetes – education and support” I felt lost, I was looking for information on the internet and I only got more confused; now that I’ve been a participant in the program, I feel great, I take better care of myself, I don’t skip any meals, I’m exercising more, I check product labels, and I feel more confident talking to my doctor and asking questions.
