Diabetes Prevention Program



Diabetes Prevention Program


Did you know 84.1 million American adults - more than 1 out of 3 - have prediabetes?

Here at UCSF, we are offering an Employee Diabetes Prevention Program for faculty and staff who have prediabetes or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a year-long program that provides education, encouragement, and the tools necessary to help individuals reach their health goals. And it’s free of charge!

Enrollment for Cohorts 3 and 4 is now open! We will be hosting one cohort in the evening at Parnassus and one during lunchtime at MCB, both starting in late January. If you are interested, please fill out the survey below.
