Diabetes Prevention Program (dpp)
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was a major multicenter clinical research study aimed at discovering whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in study participants. At the beginning of the DPP, participants were all overweight and had blood glucose, also called blood sugar, levels higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes - a condition called prediabetes. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Taking metformin also reduced risk, although less dramatically. The DPP resolved its research questions earlier than projected and, following the recommendation of an external monitoring board, the study was halted a year early. The researchers published their findings in the February 7, 2002, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine . In the DPP, participants from 27 clinical centers around the United States were randomly divided into different treatment groups. The first group, called the lifestyle intervention group, received intensive training in diet, physical activity, and behavior modification. By eating less fat and fewer calories and exercising for a total of 150 minutes a week, they aimed to lose 7 percent of their body weight and maintain that loss. The second group took 850 mg of metformin twice a day. The third group received placebo pills instead of metformin. The metformin and placebo groups also received information about diet and exercise but no intensive motivational counseling. A fourth group was treated with the drug troglitazone (Rezu Continue reading >>

Progress Continues With The National Diabetes Prevention Program
Progress continues with the National Diabetes Prevention Program SAN DIEGO The National Diabetes Prevention Program has been making great strides in preventing and delaying type 2 diabetes, but work still remains, according to Brenda Montgomery, RN, MSHS, CDE. Montgomery, president of Health Care and Education for the American Diabetes Association, described the three pillars of diabetes prevention driving discovery, raising voices and supporting the people during the Health Care and Education Address here. The research partnerships and innovation on a global scale drive discovery to prevent, manage and ultimately cure diabetes, Montgomery said. We need to intensify the urgency around the diabetes epidemic and mobilize bold action through advocacy and engagement. We also need to provide new effective resources for individuals living with and at risk for developing diabetes and for the health care professionals supporting them. Under the first pillar, Drive Discovery, the ADA backed advocacy for the Diabetes Prevention Act and collaborated with the YMCA to support establishment and funding of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP). Theres been huge progress in our understanding of prevention since 1993 when the NDPP was originally designed, Montgomery said. Small steps, big rewards its a common phrase used in the DPP, and the follow-on DPP-OS study stressed how modest change can make a difference. We now use it when discussing the pillars of prevention and changing the world. Since the original implementation of the NDPP, numerous studies have shown how lifestyle interventions and metformin compared with placebo are highly effective in reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes. According to Montgomery, the DPP continues, to this day, to bear fruit, and over 30 pape Continue reading >>

National Diabetes Prevention Program Funding
National Diabetes Prevention Program Funding The Society is a leading advocate for funding for the NDPP, a program that uses lifestyle intervention to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes among individuals with prediabetes. The Society has advocated for increased funding for the program on Capitol Hill and with U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. With support from the Society, the Chairs of the Congressional Diabetes Caucus (CDC) recently circulated a Dear Colleague letter requesting support for prioritizing funding for the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the CDCs Division of Diabetes Translation, and the NDPP. The NDPP has demonstrated great success through its expansion to over 794 sites in 39 states, and it could save the country as much as $190 billion if fully expanded. A testament to this success is the launch of an initiative from the CDC and the American Medical Association called, Prevent Diabetes STAT: Screen, Test, ActToday. The initiative intends to raise awareness about prediabetes and increase screening and referral to evidence-based diabetes prevention programs that are a part of the NDPP. Continue reading >>

The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program classes are offered free of charge to qualified participants thanks to a partnership with the Department of Vermont Health Access and the Vermont Alliance of YMCAs. To read more about the evidence and research that support the success of the Y Diabetes Prevention Program, click here . Diabetes is a serious health condition that can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, high blood pressure, and blindness. Prediabetes is a potentially reversible condition that often leads to diabetes. It is estimated that 79 million people in the United States have prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition in which individuals have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. People with prediabetes are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. An estimated one of every three U.S. adults has prediabetes, yet just 7% of those with prediabetes know they have it. Our Diabetes Prevention Program is based on the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which showed that by eating healthier, increasing physical activity and losing a small amount of weight, a person with pre-diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by 58%.

Ahi Receives Grant Funding To Expand Diabetes Prevention Efforts
Bringing Comprehensive Health Care and Services to the People of the Adirondack Region AHI Receives Grant Funding to Expand Diabetes Prevention Efforts We are pleased to announce AHI is one of 25 organizations in the state to receive new grant funding from the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth) to expand diabetes prevention efforts. The funding will help AHI implement and expand the NationalDiabetes Prevention Program (NDPP), an initiative that focuses on lifestyle changes to improve healthy eating and physical activity. In New York State, an estimated 4.5 million people have prediabetes, a condition which heightens a persons risk for developing diabetes and its complications. While curbing the diabetes epidemic is a daunting task, strong evidence has emerged in support of strategies to prevent diabetes. Specifically, the NDPP was identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an effective, evidence-based public health program. This lifestyle intervention has been shown to help participants lose 57% of their body weight and reduce their risk of developing diabetes by nearly 60%. Through the Laying the Groundwork to Scale Up the National Diabetes Prevention Program in New York State initiative, NYSHealth have awarded grants to organizations to implement, expand, and secure the sustainability of the NDPP in community-based settings across the State. NYSHealth awarded AHI a grant to participate in this initiative. With NYSHealth funding, grantees of this initiative will reach communities with high rates of diabetes and prediabetes, making this effective program available to New Yorkers in places where they live, work, and worship. The grant awards will support a range of activities to help organizations implement and grow the NDPP, including the Continue reading >>

National Diabetes Prevention Program Archives - Dh Leonard Consulting
Today, in communities across the country, young people are living on the streets after running from or being asked to leave homes characterized by abuse, neglect, or parental drug and alcohol abuse. Once on the streets, such youth are at risk of being sexually exploited or abused by adults for pleasure or profit. In addition, such youth may engage in shoplifting, survival sex, or drug dealing in order to provide for their basic needs. Since 1996, SOP has been aiding this population by funding grantees to provide street-based services to runaway, homeless, and street youth who have been subjected to, or are at risk of being subjected to, sexual abuse, prostitution, or sexual exploitation. These services, which are provided in areas where street youth congregate, are designed to assist such youth in making healthy choices regarding where they live and how they behave. **Please feel free to pass this listing along to your colleagues.

Medicare To Fund Diabetes Prevention Programs, Burwell Says
In Focus Blog Published on: March 23, 2016 Medicare to Fund Diabetes Prevention Programs, Burwell Says The move means the nation's largest payer will invest in diabetes prevention, which has been a focus of CDC, the American Medical Association, and the American Diabetes Association. Diabetes prevention programs will be covered by Medicare under a policy change announced today by HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell. The change, first reported by The New York Times , will represent an expansion of the model funded by the CMS Innovation Center, and a statement from HHS said the details of how reimbursement will work will be spelled out in the 2017 Medicare physician fee schedule, to be released this summer. Burwell announced the decision today at a YMCA in the nations capital. YMCA of the USA was the original partner in the $11.8 million demonstration project to enroll Medicare beneficiaries at high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP). This evidence-based initiative has been shown to stop the march of full-blown diabetes in those with elevated blood glucose levels who do not have the disease, a condition known as prediabetes. The demonstration project was funded in 2011 under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which was passed 6 years ago this week. HHS decision to fund the NDPP in Medicare comes a year after CDC, in partnership with the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Diabetes Association, launched a major initiative called Prevent Diabetes STAT, which called on payers and community partners to work with public health officials to identify those with prediabetes and stop onset of T2D. Ann Albright, PhD, RD, CDCs director of the Division of Diabetes Translation, discussed the urgency in Evidence-Based Diabete Continue reading >>
