New Diabetes Prevention Program starting at the Riverbrook Regional Y

The Y’s Diabetes Prevention Program is tailored for adults aged 18 and older who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) greater than 25 and may be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

Our goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel supported in your journey towards a healthier lifestyle. This program is more than just a series of classes; it’s an opportunity to engage with others who share similar goals, learn healthy habits, and celebrate personal growth together.

Eligibility can be confirmed through one of three blood tests: A1c, Fasting Plasma Glucose, or 2-hour Plasma Glucose. Additionally, individuals who have had Gestational Diabetes during a previous pregnancy or possess two or more risk factors are also welcome to join.

Don't miss this chance to take control of your health with our dedicated Diabetes Prevention Program Facilitator, Dana Gibson. Take the first step towards a healthier you by contacting our Health and Wellness Director, Rhoda Kasparek, for more information on dates and registration, rkasparek@riverbrookymca.org or call 203-762-8384 x282.
