Diabetes Prevention Programs

BEATDiabetes can help support and reinforce what you learn in your Diabetes Prevention Program sessions.
By putting what you learn into practice and improving your health, you can earn entries in the $1000 BEATDiabetes Drawing. 

$1000 BEATDiabetes Drawing

The $1000 BEATDiabetes Drawing is held 3 times a year. Diabetes Prevention Program participants can earn entries in the drawing by hitting weight loss and A1C/fasting blood sugar targets:

• Additional entry for losing 10% or more of baseline body weight at 6 and/or 12 month point of the Diabetes Prevention Program

• 1 entry for getting hemoglobin A1C or fasting blood sugar tests back into the normal, non-prediabetic range at any point during the Diabetes Prevention Program
