Without lifestyle changes, most people with pre-diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes in 5-6 years. Therefore, it is essential that employers deploy programs that have a proven track-record of preventing or delaying conversion to type 2 diabetes such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP).

The NDPP:
• Can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes by 58%.
• Offers a full year of support to achieve and maintain lifestyle changes.
• Is built on a CDC- required curriculum grounded in proven lifestyle change approaches.
• Requires recognized providers to adhere to CDC’s scientific standards and outcomes monitoring.
• Can be offered through different modalities (e.g., in-person, online, etc.)
• Has a three year ROI of approximately $8,000 compared to a program cost of approximately $500.

HC21 & the Memphis Business Group on Health (MBGH) are working in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Health, the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors, and the CDC to increase adoption of the National DPP in Tennessee.
