Given the genetic component of type 2 diabetes risk, this is
also an opportunity to prevent the disease before it develops
among your patients' family members.
Anyone can learn more about their risk for type 2 diabetes
and how to connect to a CDC-recognized lifestyle change
program by visiting diabetes.org/myrisk.
CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs are also billable
to Medicare for beneficiaries participating in the program.
Review these CDC resources to prepare for offering and
maintaining a program in your area.
More information on the clinical benefits and structure of
lifestyle change programs for preventing type 2 diabetes
is available from the ADA. For your data collection and
reporting needs, check out the ADA's DPP Express charting
platform developed for programs providing a National DPP
lifestyle change program.
Key Medical Organizations Recommend Lifestyle
Change Programs
The ADA's Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes
recommends that providers refer patients with prediabetes
to a lifestyle change program that is modeled on the
NIH's Diabetes Prevention Program. In addition, the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force recommends that providers
offer or refer patients with abnormal blood glucose to
intensive behavioral counseling interventions such as the
National DPP to promote a healthy diet and physical activity.
Relevant International Classification of Diseases, 10th
revision, codes for prediabetes are available from the
American Medical Association.
