The American Diabetes Association's Project Power is an initiative with the aim to help adults and youth raise diabetes awareness and offers diabetes risk reduction education.
In partnership with CVS Health, Project Power is on a mission to tackle this epidemic. As a no-cost lifestyle change program, Project Power tackles prediabetes and type 2 diabetes to help reduce its consequences. Using an outcomes-based curriculum, the program promotes making healthy food choices, increasing physical activity, and building family and peer support.
