Individuals identified as at risk for pre-type 2 diabetes are invited to participate in Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) group classes, which consist of 12 to 16 participants. Each session is led by two qualified instructors, one of whom is typically a peer leader with personal experience in managing diabetes. Participants are encouraged to develop weekly action plans, share their experiences, and collaboratively address challenges related to their self-management efforts. The course materials have been thoroughly reviewed by physicians, diabetes educators, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals associated with Stanford and the local community. IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THIS CLASS This workshop will be conducted in a virtual format. A fundamental understanding of computer skills is crucial for all participants. Before starting the class, participants must install the Zoom platform on their devices, ensuring they have access to equipment with camera and audio capabilities. For optimal participation, we recommend using a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer rather than a mobile phone. Before registering, please complete the pre-class survey, consent to the insurance, liability, and privacy policy forms, and submit your most recent A1C readings to confirm eligibility for the DPP Medicare beneficiaries. The submission of these documents is essential for gaining access to the virtual class and its accompanying materials. Each participant will receive either a hard or digital copy of the course textbook, which will be mailed via the United States Postal Service once AFROCARE SERVICES has received all necessary registration documents. We appreciate and recommend a donation of $50 per participant for class materials, although the actual value of these classes is $170.00 per individual. Importantly, no participant will be denied access due to financial constraints. For any inquiries, please contact Florence Njoyi via email at fnjoyi@gmail.com or by calling 651-592-6614. If the class is currently at capacity, feel free to reach out to be placed on the waiting list or to discuss alternative class options.

Registration is open to the general public (caregiving for individuals age 60+) by January 13th. A Session 0 will be held on January 15th, to allow participants to test their Zoom link. Zoom link and class materials will be mailed to participants prior to the workshop start date.
