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!

We are not currently actively recruiting for a cohort, but if you are interested in future cohorts please feel free to fill out the DPP Interested Participant Survey below and we will reach out if and when there is a cohort available in the location of your preference.
