Did you know? Diabetes is preventable and even reversible. The CDC has created DPP, a year-long lifestyle change program proven to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58% in adults at high risk and by 71% for those 60 and older. 

STOP-D is a CDC recognized, evidence-based program that helps people at risk for type 2 diabetes achieve weight loss and make healthy changes.

“STOP‑D helped me turn good intentions into lasting habits. From improved labs to weight loss and better body composition, I’ve seen real change—and gained confidence that I can maintain it, even with a busy life.” -Rajiv Puranik, Cupertino
