Telligen is pleased to offer Lifestyle Coaching Training Courses for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Diabetes Prevention Program. CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs must have Lifestyle Coaches who are trained to use a CDC-approved curriculum and who have the knowledge and skills to effectively deliver the program.

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM?

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) is a partnership of public and private organizations working to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Research shows structured lifestyle interventions can cut the risk of type 2 diabetes in half.

 This program is proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Participants who lost 5-7% of their body weight and added 150 minutes of exercise per week cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58% (71% for people over 60 years old).

The impact of this program can last for years to come. Research has found that even after 10 years, people who completed a diabetes prevention program were one-third less likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
