If you’re 65 or older and have been diagnosed with prediabetes, the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (Medicare DPP), offered by Reset Health Coaching, can help you make lasting changes to prevent type 2 diabetes and improve overall health. The program is free if you are enrolled in Medicare Part B.

 

 

This 1-year program is clinically-proven to help you LOSE WEIGHT and cut the risk of developing diabetes by 58%  (71% for people older than age 60).

 

What Is Prediabetes?

 

Prediabetes is a health condition marked by blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. More than 84 million American adults—or 1 in 3—are estimated to have prediabetes, and 9 in 10 people with prediabetes don’t know they have it.

 

Prediabetes can lead to heart disease and stroke, and without intervention, many people with prediabetes will go on to develop type 2 diabetes.

 

Prediabetes is defined by one of the following measures:

    * Hemoglobin A1C of 5.7% to 6.4% or

    * Fasting plasma glucose of 100 to 125 mg/dL or

    * Plasma glucose measured 2 hours after a 75 gm glucose load of 140 to 199 mg/dL.

 

What Is the National DPP Lifestyle Change Program?

 

The National DPP lifestyle change program:

 

    * Is a 1-year group program offered in person, online, or through a combination of both approaches. It consists of:

       ► An initial 6-month phase with at least 16 weekly sessions offered over a period of 16 to 24 weeks.

       ► A second 6-month phase with at least 1 session a month (minimum of 6 sessions).

    * Is taught by a trained lifestyle coach.

    * Uses a CDC-approved curriculum.

    * Includes regular interactions between the lifestyle coach and participants.

    * Focuses on behavior change to improve healthy eating, increase physical activity, and manage stress.

    * Provides peer support.

 

How is the Reset Health Coaching program different?

Just like all CDC DPP providers, we help participants to moderately increase activity, reduce stress and eat healthy.
