HISTORY OF YDPP
Translational Research At It’s Best
10 year, $200 million federal investment in the national Diabetes Prevention Program (at NIH, CDC, IHS others)
Showed that over HALF of new cases of type 2 diabetes can be avoided by structured lifestyle intervention programs that help individuals with PRE-diabetes lose just 5-7% of their body weight and participate in daily physical activity such as brisk walking
--But it was too costly to scale
Indiana University researchers showed that a carefully designed group lifestyle intervention to prevent diabetes could be delivered for $250-$350 per year in the Y and achieve similar weight loss results as the more costly than the original federal research trial.
In April, YMCA of the USA and UnitedHealth Group announce a partnership, where UnitedHealth Group will reimburse YMCAs offering the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program
Seven communities this year with more to come on-line in next 5 years:• Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, Ohio• Indianapolis, IN• Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN• Phoenix, AZ
YMCA of the USA worked with Senators Franken and Lugar to secure an amendment to health care reform which established the National Diabetes Prevention Program at CDC, which includes
•National training and recognition program for community-based DPPs, Quality assurance, applied research and model sites.
Why is the National Diabetes Prevention Program needed?• To provide patients, health care providers, and health payers
trustworthy information on the availability of high quality diabetes prevention programs in their community.
• To attract health payer funding and to support the long-term sustainability of diabetes prevention programs in the U.S. population. Foundation support is needed to ensure full access.
• To provide start up funding to build the needed infrastructure
YMCA model sites funded by CDC: Birmingham, AL; State of Delaware; Tampa and Jacksonville, FL; Ft. Wayne and Bloomington, IN; Louisville, KY; NYC and Rochester, NY; Providence, RI; Seattle, WA. More sites come on line late summer.
HOW MIGHT WE HELP ALL AT-RISK AMERICANS PREVENT OR DELAY DIABETES Fully Fund the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP)
Urban Institute has said that making this program available nationwide with organizations like the Y, our nation can save $191 billion over 10 years
Federal resources invested in the NDPP will be matched by hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars by 3rd party payers
To scale the NDPP nationally $80 million is needed per year from the mandatory prevention fund. Funding would support:
CDC’s training, recognition, quality assurance and research Public and provider education on pre-diabetes YMCAs to build capacity in the 100 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas
where an estimated 50 million of the 57 million people with pre-diabetes reside
Activation of referral networks Capacity building for new program delivery networks
