The '''Diabetes Prevention Program''' (DPP) was a landmark multicenter clinical research study initiated by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) within the Department of Health and Human Services to address the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes. Conducted from 1996 to 2002, the DPP demonstrated that intensive lifestyle interventions—focused on diet, exercise, and weight loss—could reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% in high-risk individuals, while metformin, a common diabetes medication, reduced the risk by 31%. This initiative, involving over 3,000 participants across 27 U.S. sites, provided foundational evidence for diabetes prevention strategies and has since transitioned into the ongoing Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS) to assess long-term impacts. | The '''Diabetes Prevention Program''' (DPP) was a landmark multicenter clinical research study initiated by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) within the Department of Health and Human Services to address the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes.
