Did you know that 1 in 2 adults over age 65 have prediabetes? Another alarming fact is that only one in four adults aged 65 and older living with prediabetes are aware of their condition. The good news: A. Point-of-care screening for markers of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are available and easily accessed; B. The Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) is available.

WHAT IS THE MDPP?*

The Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) Expanded Model is an evidence-based behavior change intervention to delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes among people with Medicare. This voluntary model was certified for expansion in 2016 and is covered under Medicare Part B as a preventive service.

Program Overview
The goal of MDPP is to help Medicare beneficiaries achieve at least 5% weight loss through up to one year of behavior change sessions
to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes through practical training in:
*Long-term dietary change
*Increased physical activity
*Behavioral change strategies for weight loss

Key Points
Problem:
Nearly 1 in 2 adults aged 65 and older have prediabetes; without intervention, the prevalence and costs of treating type 2 diabetes among people with Medicare will continue to rise.

Solution:
MDPP, a one-year health behavior change educational program, has demonstrated effectiveness in delaying or preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes among people with prediabetes.

Outcomes:
By widely implementing this program among people with Medicare, the MDPP Expanded Model can improve health and decrease costs associated with complications of diabetes, like hypercholesterolemia or hypertension.

Strategy:
Participating in the MDPP is a preventive approach to managing the risk for type 2 diabetes that empowers beneficiaries to make healthy lifestyle changes and manage their own health.

FEBRUARY: American Heart Month is a reminder to know your
blood pressure numbers and take steps to keep
them under control. Start with a plan that fits your
life: MyBPControl.org

Blood Pressure Control Basics
• When your blood pressure numbers are often higher than 130 over 80, it’s called high blood pressure, also known as hypertension.
• Control means keeping your blood pressure consistently below 130 over 80.
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and even dementia.
• Every moment your blood pressure is out of control, it’s doing serious harm to your body that you can’t always see.

02/26/2026

High blood pressure is hard. Controlling it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we’re partnering
with the Hypertension Bites campaign to share resources that can help people build a blood
pressure control plan to get numbers below 130/80. Lower numbers mean a lower risk of
heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and dementia. Get started at MyBPControl.org.

"CLARITY TODAY. PREVENTION TOMORROW!

True transformation starts with understanding, not judment.

When you know the composition of your body, you gain the power to change it - confidently - safely - and sustainably!

Diabetes prevention begins with awareness, not fear, A body composition analysis reveals how muscle, fat, and metabolism affect blood sugar - so you can take control early. It shifts the focus from weight to health, from guessing to knowing, and from risk to prevention. When you understand your body, you can protect it - one informed choice at a time.
