AAHP’s Diabetes Prevention Program Takes Off

AAHP now offers a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) modeled after the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP). Led by AAHP’s clinical director, Dr. Nkossi Dambita, this 16-week curriculum focuses on healthy eating and physical activity to help participants make choices that prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.  AAHP’s DPP is ideal for individuals who are at risk of getting diabetes, including people with high blood sugar or glucose and women who have had gestational diabetes.
