The National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle change program is an evidence-based program focused on helping participants make positive lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, reducing stress, and getting more physical activity.
SIGN UP FOR A DIABETES PREVENTION CLASS
Fruit Street is a proud member of the Diabetes Prevention Alliance from the American Diabetes Association®
Prediabetes is when someone's blood glucose (blood sugar) level is too high but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes if steps aren't taken to prevent it. 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, and 81% don't know they have it. So, take the risk now to find out your risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Integrates with Wireless Scales
The core of the program consists of you attending classes with a Lifestyle Coach who is a Registered Dietitian and a group of other participants on 1-hour long Zoom classes 22 times over the course of the year.
When you sign up, you will pick a day and time that is convenient to meet for you on a regular basis such as Sundays at 3PM or Mondays at 7PM.
You will also be issued a wireless scale that you can use to track your weight loss progress in the Fruit Street mobile app. Every time you step on the scale, it will log in your Fruit Street health record in the mobile app and website.
This way you can see a graph of your weight and progress towards 5-7% weight loss. Your coach will also have access to your weight so she can help you track your weight loss progress.
Use our mobile application to track your physical activity throughout the week.
Our program is based on CDC guidelines and we recommend striving for 150 minutes of moderate
physical activity per week. You, your coach, and
your group members will brainstorm ways to increase physical activity during your classes.

The Fruit Street mobile app also allows you
to receive feedback on your from your lifestyle coach throughout the week via text message.
You can also text message 1-1 with your
lifestyle coach about any diet or lifestyle related
question you have throughout the week. This
private text-chat allows you to ask your
coach any confidential questions outside
of the group setting.
Each Zoom class covers a different curriculum topic
such as diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Here is a list of classes you will be attending
throughout our program.
Classes meet weekly for the first
12 weeks and then begin to meet
bi-weekly and monthly later on

Option to purchase food that is dietitian approved!
One of the newest added features of our program is that you have the option to purchase dietitian approved healthy food from our partner Modify Health.
This makes it even easier to lose weight because we deliver food directly to your home!
If you are concerned that you are prediabetic, we also have a partnership with LabCorp that allows you to get a Hemoglobin a1c test which is an average measure of blood glucose over the previous 3 months.
If you have an a1c between 5.7 and 6.3, you are considered prediabetic. The good news is that by participating in Fruit Street’s diabetes prevention program, you could reduce your a1c and reverse your prediabetes!
Our diabetes prevention program is based on a $175 million clinical trial funded by Medicare that showed that participants in diabetes prevention programs can reduce their risk for developing Type 2 diabetes by 58% and people over 60 reduced their risk by more than 71%!
This research was published in the New England Journal of Medicine - one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world.
This led to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention endorsing the diabetes prevention program that Fruit Street delivers.
We deliver one of the top evidenced based lifestyle modification programs in the world.
This offer includes two devices Fitbit
Aria & Fitbit Inspire 2
