Best Virtual Diabetes Prevention Programs Products

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was a major multi-center clinical research study exploring whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. DPP participants were all overweight and had blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes - a condition called pre-diabetes. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Companies have digitized and virtualized the DPP, relying on technology to facilitate and support key elements of the program.
