The Fond du Lac Family YMCA is now forming classes for the next session of the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program– an innovative program proven to reduce the burden of type 2 diabetes – one of the nation’s costliest chronic diseases. The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is a group-based lifestyle intervention for adults at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and has been shown to reduce the number of new cases of diabetes by 58 percent overall and by 71 percent in adults over 60. The next session is now forming. Classes are based upon interest. Additional classes, with varying class times and days of the week(to accomodate all schedules), will be formed throughout the year.
The community is invited to the informational Diabetes Prevention Program Session Zero, to allow prospective participants the chance to learn more about the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program, as well as hear testimonials from past participants and meet Mary Jo (MJ) Neumann, Healthy Living Director. The session is free and will take place on Wednesday, March 14, 2018 from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. in the Healthy Living Center at the Fond du Lac Family YMCA. Register in advance by emailing MJ Neumann at mjneumann@fdlymca.org or by calling her at 920.921.3330 x336.
